More of What Matters Knows Love is Not Blind

December 27, 2018 by Nancy Bentz 4 Comments

Seated at my desk, I watch these very words appear on my computer screen. I love to write. But the words don’t magically appear by osmosis. Part of my more of what matters knows love is not blind. If it were, you wouldn’t be reading this. Those who cater to the old adage “love is […]

More of What Matters When Caught in Friendly Fire

November 26, 2018 by Nancy Bentz Leave a Comment

More of What Matters when caught in friendly fire army crawled to the front of my thinking this past year. These months have been a compilation of circumstances and relational experiences, many of which have highlighted what I’ve been writing about for two years now, whether in a spiritual boxing ring or here, in deep […]

More of What Matters Begins in the Heart

October 31, 2018 by Nancy Bentz Leave a Comment

“All that is worth cherishing begins in the heart, not the head.” On September 25, I celebrated 42 years of marriage with my husband. On October 25, one month later, I gathered with family to bury my father. Both of the first most important men in my life served as reminders those 30 days that more […]

More of What Matters in a Cause-Driven World

August 7, 2018 by Nancy Bentz 4 Comments

More of what matters in a cause-driven world has haunted me awhile. Probably because for every cause there’s an effect. Just one, if we’re lucky. And a cascading line of dominoes if we’re not. We often are not. Which has gotten me to thinking why that is. Lord knows there are plenty of examples of […]

More of What Matters – When the Rocks are Locked & Loaded

July 11, 2018 by Nancy Bentz 2 Comments

Jesus is all about more of what matters – when the rocks are locked and loaded. The first several verses of John 8 [1] relate the story of the woman caught in an act of adultery and brought before Jesus. The incident where He bent down to write something in the dirt. Her accusers? Wait […]

More of What Matters – Meet the Children

June 22, 2018 by Nancy Bentz Leave a Comment

Lately I’ve been keenly aware of the swift passage of time. Poised by God’s providence in the middle decades between childhood 1.0 and 2.0, I feel deeper and more frequent the circular draw to more of what matters – meet the children. “Johnny, we hardly knew ye.” 1 The plaintive lyric of that Irish melody became […]

More of What Matters – When it’s “Offense du jour”

May 30, 2018 by Nancy Bentz Leave a Comment

Give me a cup of tomato basil soup and I can say ciao! like an Italian. Give me a choice of soup or salad? I’ll most often go with the greens. Give me more of what matters – when it’s “offense du jour” or I’m tempted to spit pits over split hairs. When people take up offense over […]

More of What Matters – I Was Made for This

April 9, 2018 by Nancy Bentz 2 Comments

Do you ever feel like a pin at the end of a bowling alley named Potshot Lanes? When it seems there’s signage flashing over your head that could rival that of Vegas? ‘Take your best shot!’ My friend, that is the time to remind yourself of more of what matters – I was made for […]

More of What Matters – The Fruit of Pain

March 15, 2018 by Nancy Bentz Leave a Comment

We like fruit – typically after someone else has done the necessary pruning. We don’t like pain. Add them together though and we get more of what matters – the fruit of pain. Which is the equivalent of growing through the pain that pruning produces. To some it’s a high calling to demand fruit. Yep, that’s […]

More of What Matters – Reviving Relationships

February 5, 2018 by Nancy Bentz 4 Comments

Did some of your associations take a bruising last year as a result of the political climate? If your answer is yes, no doubt you can relate to more of what matters – reviving relationships. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who sucked 2017’s moody air in an atmosphere largely detrimental to interconnectedness. […]
