Thanks Joni for this wonderful article. It got me thinking as to what I need to repent of and make a change for the better.

If I may? I've always included in "Gluttony" not only the sin of eating too much, but also hoarding. NOT preparing for any eventuality such as a year's food storage, but real hoarding with the intent to either drive up prices (connecting it with Greed) or as a type of Lust (to satiate bodily appetite of any form).
All of them really are interconnected and feed (possibly no pun intended) off of each other. As C.S. Lewis might have pointed out in "The Screwtape Letters", if your patient cures himself of one sin, quickly replace it with another.
