Use a post for the home page
-
I would like to use one of my pages (posts) for the static home page, but can’t figure out how to do it.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can create a sticky post. See here: post visibility- sticky posts https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-visibility/#sticky-posts

one of my pages (posts) for the static home page
Understand that posts and pages are not the same https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
Assuming you are referring to a Page (not a post) https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/ read on.
This is a one or the other situation. You have two choices on any blog
(1) All posts on the front page ie. the Home page. By default that is the URL of the site.(2) A static front page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ and all posts on a different page.
By default the front page of your blog displays all published posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. That is for the convenience of your returning visitors, who come to read your latest post, and who are not likely to be happy with being compelled to click through the same static page with the same blah, blah, blah on it every time they visit the blog looking for the latest post.
However, if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page called for example “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts. Create your pages first
Front page:
Posts page:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/After you do that you go to > Dashboard > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.
