That any person esteem his own good or excellence to be worthy of praise is not in itself sinful; nor, in like manner, is it sinful that we should desire to see our good works approved of men. "Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works" (Matthew 5:16). Hence the desire of glory is not essentially vicious.

But a vain, or perverse desire for renown, which is called vainglory, is wrong; desire of glory becomes perverse,

when one seeks renown because of something not really worthy;

when one seeks the esteem of those whose judgment is undiscriminating;

when one desires glory before men without subordinating it to righteousness.

Vainglory may become a deadly sin, if one seek the esteem of men for something that is incompatible with the reverence due to God; or when the thing for which one desires to be esteemed is preferred in one's affections before God; or again, when the judgment of men is sought in preference to the judgment of God, as was the case with the Pharisees, who "loved the glory of men more than the glory of God" (John 12:43).

The term "vainglory" denotes not alone the sinful act, but also the vicious habit or tendency engendered by a repetition of such acts. This habit is ranked among the capital sins, or, more properly vices, because it is prolific of other sins, viz., disobedience, boastfulness, hypocrisy, contentiousness, discord, and a presumptuous love of pernicious novelties in moral and religious doctrine.

Video games are a ubiquitous part of almost all children’s and adolescents’ lives, with 97% playing for at least one hour per day in the United States.

I was kind of amazed by this statistic... are kids really playing this much? Is it too much? Implications?

Can Making Your Bed Change Your Life?

Militaries often encourage this habit, perhaps to give a sense of order to your life and keep things looking uniform?

A majority of people don't make their beds, and seem to get along fine in the world, so it may not really be "necessary" for improving a person's life.

However for the minority that do make their beds, apparently there is also a correlation with a majority of them reporting they consider themselves happy, while a majority of those who don't make their beds admit to being unhappy (via Psychology Today article, referenced in a Mercury News article).

Some people think that making your bed in the morning helps to mentally prepare people for the day, that it's a habit that sets off a chain reaction of other good habits for the day; and it's also just nice to come back to a made bed to sleep in at night.

Could such a little thing have a big positive impact on your life?

Do you like to make your bed, or what do you think of the topic?

The Apostles' Fast, also called the Fast of the Holy Apostles, the Fast of Peter and Paul, or sometimes St. Peter's Fast, or sometimes, The Fast of Rafik,[1] is a fast observed by Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Christians. The fast begins on the second Monday after Pentecost (the day after All Saints' Sunday) and continues until the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul on June 29, according to the Eastern Orthodox liturgical calendar.
