Faith without wisdom
[Read the article: My secret is about to be revealed]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]James 5:16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
Maybe the scriptural basis for Doug "confessing" to Falling's husband comes from this verse. However, just because confession to "one another" is called for doesn't mean that the one to tell is necessarily the one wronged.
There really ought to be a cooling-off period for "born-again" converts. That period should be used to read the whole of the Bible, and really think about it, study it, and weigh the various passages against each other. This might lessen the number of times people go off and hurt other people in the name of a religion they are only beginning to understand. Faith without wisdom is a dangerous thing.

To choose to do nothing was bold
[Read the article: Series wrap-up: "The West Wing"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Compared to all the other final series episodes I've ever seen, this was the bravest. The writers included no weddings, no funerals, no shark jumps. Absolutely nothing interesting happened. Even the train crash crisis was handled as routine.
The staffers lingered, packed, greeted their successors, vacated their parking spaces. Looked out the windows. Didn't want to leave, but had to go.
Bravo! How many other series have ever left in a way that feels like leaving actually feels?
