My First Official Blog

Boy, oh boy, golly-wally, gee-whiz, hot diggety-dog (bang the cymbols, blow the trumpets!) I, Hayley Bop (not real last name) have finally joined the masses of technelogical people and started my very own blog. What should I tell the world first? What wisdom can I impart? What sagely advice can I post for posterity?

Okay, now that I've introduced myself (and ran out of things to say--setting up the blog took it all out me. I'm not cut out for this tech stuff.) I will explain the title of my blog. I will use points. I like points. They simplify things for everybody. When I use points I don't have to write a beautifully organized, cohesive paragraph. Here we go.

Why I Titled My Blog What I Titled My Blog

1. I am a Christian. However, I am not the sort of Christian who claims to be a Christian and leaves it at that. I really want to know God. I desire to love Jesus with all my heart, strength, and mind. However, I realize that following Christ is the hardest thing a person can do (and yet, it's the easiet thing as well. More on this later.). Every day is a battle.

   "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers,
   against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the
   spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."
   Ephesians 6:12

2. I don't fight this battle alone. I have Jesus, the armor of God, and fellow Christians to fight with me. This blog is meant to be a rallying cry from one Christian to another. From one soldier to another. I pray that God may use this site to connect his children. I pray that we will use it to encourage and support one another.

3. I thought the name was cool. It's tough, kind of haunting, maybe? Is this a misconception of mine?

4. It came to me pretty quickly, and as it was better than the other titles I was coming up with (such as: Little Tiny Mushrooms and Can't Think of A Name for My Blog) I chose it instead.

Well, I dearly hope that I have covered all ground and not left a single one of you confused on the subject of my title. I'm really kind of excited to push the Publish Post button and see it pop up on my very own, not-so-private, blog. So, without any further ado, I bid you farewell and good afternoon.
