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.

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...
