Hurry Up, God by Brenda J. Wood This afternoon, hubby and I plan on watching the John Wayne movie we taped late last night. We don’t do midnight anymore. VCRs and DVDs allow us to set our own schedule and view favourites at our leisure. Thanks to the fast-forward button, we skip all the commercials. That means we get right… Continue reading HURRY UP, GOD
