NewsNote: Tiger Woods’ Buddhist Confession (Al Mohler). "Americans are accustomed to a certain kind of public confession, argues Susan Wise Bauer -- and that means a confession that is shaped by the Christian faith.

On the other hand, at least in most Christian households, sex is not talked about as a part of regular family conversation."
