Welcome to The Light, your quiet hour of reflection.
There is a kind of wisdom in waiting — and Chuck Bentley reminds us that patience may be the most undervalued financial virtue in Christian life. Not strategy, not discipline alone, but the slow willingness to let time do its quiet work. Money, he suggests, grows best in unhurried soil.
From the stillness of waiting, we turn to a different kind of stillness — the one that fell over millions of people standing beneath a darkening sky last April. As a total solar eclipse moved across Mexico and the United States, crowds went silent. Children and strangers stood together in driveways and open fields, faces lifted, something ancient moving through them without a single word needed.
And from the sky, to the ground of contested definitions — the WNBA finds itself at an unexpected crossroads. After Sophie Cunningham spoke publicly about protecting women's sports, the league called an emergency eligibility meeting. With two former NBA players declaring for the two thousand twenty seven draft, the question of what the word woman means in athletic competition has become suddenly, urgently present.
That's this hour's reflection. Carry the light gently.
