Welcome to The Light, your quiet hour of reflection.
A story of ancient ambition continues to find its modern audience. Prime Video has renewed House of David for a third season, drawing more than forty million viewers into the arc of a shepherd becoming a king — a fugitive years, a complicated destiny, a reminder that the path to purpose is rarely clean or straight.
From the screen to the street, a church in New York City was targeted this week when an individual was arrested for throwing a Molotov cocktail at its doors, suspected of similar attacks elsewhere. That a place of gathered faith should become a target asks something quiet and hard of us — about fear, about what we protect, and why.
And in New Hampshire, two student athletes who identify as female have withdrawn their legal challenge against a state law barring them from girls' sports. The case closes without resolution, leaving the deeper questions — about belonging, fairness, and dignity — still open, still tender, still waiting for the kind of wisdom that law alone cannot provide.
That's this hour's reflection. Carry the light gently.
