Move to Substack

For several years, I’ve been using Blogspot, which is great for sharing my writing with friends and family but not so great for building a larger readership. I recently discovered my blog is pretty much impossible to find if you don’t have the exact URL (turns out I’m not as tech savvy as you might think), plus the Blogger community is pretty small.

After doing some research, I discovered that Substack has a much larger community and is more user-friendly, so I've decided to shift my primary platform from R.H. Blog to "The Everything Bagel," my Substack. This blog will still exist, if you’re interested in accessing my archives or religious content, but most new content will be posted on "The Everything Bagel."

Here's the link (also in my Blogger profile): https://rhverrinder.substack.com/

They ask how school’s going and she smiles.   Mom watches from a corner and smiles; She laughs at the jokes and makes more coffee And watches the sun set over the farm, Her kind eyes falling on the playing children. Dad kisses her chee...

Happy Valentine's Day!

Although the commercial focus is on romantic love, Valentine’s Day is a good time to think about love in general, as a force and as a philosophy of life. People describe love in a million ways and tack on countless definitions to it that vary infinitely, and yet love remains the same and is understood in the same way by all, because love eludes the intellect and impresses itself instead into the heart and soul. All of the most fundamental things do so, because the intellect is the least fundamental form of existence. The intellect deals with existence after it has taken a physical form, when it has reached its most tangible state. The intellect deals with existence at its surface, and analyzes the ripples in the water rather than the original disturbance. Nothing that deals with the form of existence rather than the spirit can truly comprehend love. But, like anything, love takes a form, and that is precisely where the confusion arises. Love makes ripples in the water, but the ripple...
