Welcome to The Light, where we pause together in the quiet between the noise.
The music world is mourning the loss of Justin Cary, bassist for Sixpence None the Richer, who passed away at fifty following a severe stroke. He joined the beloved Christian alt-rock band in nineteen ninety seven, arriving just as their sound was reaching hearts far beyond their Texas roots. Two surgeries could not hold back what came for him, and the silence he leaves is wide.
From loss we turn to the unraveling of a public love. Bunnie Xo has spoken openly about her separation from Jelly Roll, saying the divorce was not mutual, that she had left following an argument on Mother's Day, and that he was the one who filed the papers. There is something quietly important in her choosing her own words, her own telling, her own truth.
And in the world of sport and conscience, Major League Baseball finds itself in unexpected territory after warning San Francisco Giants players who inscribed biblical messages on their pride night caps. Federal prosecutors and a sitting senator have taken notice, and what began on a baseball field has become a question about where expression ends and institution begins.
Carry the light gently, and we will meet again next hour.
