Movie in Theaters Nationwide on 
April 7, 2017!

Don't forget to check out the official movie website for full cast and LOTS of fun extras, including games, music, quizzes (see how well you know your Smurfs!), gallery and video clips.  Just click on the image below or the "website" link below.


I'm looking forward to watching this movie based on the many themes throughout, all guided by Scripture. My favorite? "Love into being" all derived from this guiding Scripture:

“Because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive 
with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions.” 
- Ephesians 2:4-5

The following discussion guide (click on the image below) is great for family, friends and fellowship groups to watch the movie and discuss, using the guiding Scripture of each theme, and reviewing the discussion questions provided. You can download the pdf for future use as well.



The website also have bios of the main "Smurf" characters! Here's one of my favorite, just from the trailer, OK, maybe it has something to do with the cute glasses...actually, I'm liking a few more like SmurfWillow and SmurfStorm. Want to meet them? Be sure to check out the "Meet the Characters" on the website!

Can you guess his name?

I'm back.... with Bible Giveaways

Image
Hello. I've hinted on my Instagram (@justcommonly) that I'm in the process of coming back after years away from blogging.  @justcommonly I had the very intention to be posting within a week of the first hint.  Yet life is full of surprises. As I was trying to reinstate my original blog (Just Commonly), I, unfortunately, had multiple technical issues due to the time length the blog was deactivated. Once I had it up and running, several "reports" had Google banned certain old posts, and eventually the blog itself. At this point, I had seriously doubted if it means I should just forget about it. Was my blog that bad and/or offensive that it was reported for malicious content and Google violations?  I submitted a review request, with the response that the blog link was no longer available to be reactivated. After some prayers and deliberation, I have changed the handle from justcommonly.blogspot to alwaysjustcommonly.blogspot.  I have uploaded and republished...

How did you choose your current Bible? Is this your first Bible?  I'll get into how I chose my current Bible, at least my main one. First, I would like to explain why I needed a new one. It all started with my determination to focus on reading the Bible if that's the only reading (and accomplishment) I get done in the day.  Since my migraine became chronic, reading had become unbearable for a variety of reasons associated with the symptoms.  This includes reading the Word, let alone studying it. In truth, there was a huge spiritual warfare going on during the time. That's another focus for another day.  My Bible has been with me for years. I loved everything about it, and to be unable to read it, I was frustrated and lost. Then an epiphany came on a lucid morning. By this time, I had already transition to mostly analog - physical planners, notebooks, minimal screen time on tablet, no TV and back to basic with my smart phone - mainly for calls and text between...
