Our mission statement: “That the United States and the world might know Christ through word and example”.
Statement of Faith: 1. We believe the Bible is the inspired, the only infallible authority of God. We believe it to be God’s Word. We believe there is one God in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19 2. We believe that man is lost and undone and needs a Savior to avoid judgement. We believe that Savior is the Lord Jesus Christ. Luke 24:46-47. 3. We believe the true Christians have the Holy Spirit inside their being and can live a Holy life. John 3:5-8.
4. We believe that God gives Christians spiritual gifts, one of which may be the ability to share faith using the written word, aka-“blogging”. Our hope is that our bloggers would see this as a mission in their lives, to make a difference in the United States and the world by using the written word. If this is your heart, please join us in “blog 31 days”.

Thank you for visiting our Blog 31 Days “Tips and Tricks” section.
In order to find success in this Blog 31 Days project, you will need information about some important things:
1. How to have a website of your own. There are many places in which you can find help in this area. Please consider these ideas. You can choose to have a domain name such as http://www.blog31days.com or you might prefer to use a company’s blog such as your name.wordpress.com.
One is a paid website and the other is a free website. There is more flexibility with a paid website and there are often limitations with a free website. You can always use a free website and change to a paid website. To participate in Blog 31 Days you will need a platform for sharing your work and a website will do the trick! Decide which website type you will use. If you already have a blog, you’re good to go.
2. What to name your blog. The most effective blog names are those relevant to your drum beat(What do you love?) and something short and simple. If you’re bent on writing about animals, choose an animal name or focus. Say you enjoy sewing, then figure our some catchy “Nit and Stitch” type name. You may enjoy inspirational writings and you could select a name such as “Jesus My Heart”. Whatever you choose, be sure that you focus on your “main” love so that you can zero in on that focussed area for writing. Keep it simple and short if possible.
3. You’ll need a topic and name for the “blog31day” article you’re writing. We have chosen 3 categories for our bloggers. You will list your article under “one” of those categories. Your article should have a name that is catchy, interesting and that will lure folks to your blog. Think carefully about what you will name your blog article. I’m thinking about an article such as: “10 Things Every Blogger Should Do”.
4. How to link with others will be “yuge!” Also, you’ll need a thumb-sized logo or blog button (optional) To create a blog button of 125 x 125 you may choose canvas for FREE or for $5.00, you could let someone else do this for you on “Fiver”.
This button will be used to link up with others. In order to link with others and have your work show up among the other bloggers, you will “link up”. Be sure to practice this before the link goes live. CLICK HERE for more information.
5. Having a place in your home that is designated for you to blog will be paramount. It should be away from the noise and movement of things going on. It should be comfortable and a place where there is little distraction. A writing desk, corner, office or quiet spot is very important if you’re going to be a dedicated blogger for 31 days. As it is, life happens so be sure to set yourself up in a blogging-type environment.
6. Creating a folder in your computer and naming it “Blog 31 Days-3/ 2020” will help you focus on the task at hand. This will be a place to gather all of your writings. Name and date this folder.

Well, phooey! Only a handful “liked” my blog yesterday! Phooey again! It was concise, encouraging and had a little “ring” to it..”Blah! Blah! Blah! Blog”. Don’t you think that’s cute? Well only a handful “liked” it meaning only and handful either “got it” or really “liked it”.
That’s what blogging is all about folks. Sometimes readers like what you write and sometimes they don’t. You just cannot and I repeat cannot let it get you down. You have to forge forward with your mission.
Right now I’m on a mission to write 31 days. I’m blogging on chickens… I know, “chickens?” Well, it’s what you do when you have 40 folks. They are your life, basically and you just write about them cause it’s what you do! And, let me say, #chickenlivesmatter too! <a href=”https://chickenlivesmatter.com/2017/07/01/blog-31-days-a-series-on-chicken-lives-matter/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Check out my blog on my chickens… </a>
Hey! Are you blogging? Are you? Is it just inside of your being to want to put words down?
Well, I am on a mission! I wish I could feel this way all of the time! I am writing day and night, night and day and so happy. I’m so happy. It’s as if everything is a story! My daughter will say something, or I will see something, or I’ll hear something and I run to my go-to journal to write down my very thought so I won’t forget it.
Next month we’re going to take a journey together where we “Blog 31 Days”. I am hoping that you will take this trip with me. It will require A LOT and I mean a lot. You’ll have to blog, blog, blog, blog! But, if that’s what you love… hey….
