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 cheek, while the f

On Abortion

The essential question regarding the issue of abortion is this: can the unborn be properly considered human and are we therefore under an obligation to protect them? If this can be answered, we can begin to consider the social and political issues surrounding abortion. The Nature and Rights of the Unborn Human rights are contingent on being human—something that has always been implicit, but never fully defined except in the sphere of philosophy or in a strictly biological sense. In the past, a clear definition wasn’t necessary, because no one was thinking about existence before birth or what makes us different from machines and so forth. As science has progressed, however, we’ve been forced to consider our own humanity because of how deeply we understand our biology, including our development from a fertilized egg, and of how frequently in science the lines between material and abstract existence are blurred. Ethics in science aside, abortion is probably the most notable scenario
