Welcome to The Light, where we slow down long enough to notice what matters.
WNBA player Sophie Cunningham sat with comedian Theo Von this week and offered him something quieter than advice. When Von confessed that busyness pulls him away from prayer, Cunningham told him plainly that nothing he does or fails to do can separate him from God's love. It was a moment of grace offered in an unlikely room.
From the intimate to the cosmic, a quantum information scientist this week made a striking claim — that physicists will detect a graviton, the long-theorized particle carrying the force of gravity, before they ever confirm the existence of dark matter. He also offered a gentle caution: that artificial intelligence, however capable, cannot yet do what physics most requires, which is creative leaping into the unknown.
And in a quieter kind of abundance, Jessa Duggar Seewald and her husband Ben announced they are expecting their seventh child, sharing the news on a podcast devoted to the unplanned. There is something in that word, unplanned, that keeps appearing across all three of these stories — the grace that arrives before we are ready for it.
That is this hour's reflection. Carry the light gently.
