Behind the scenes Quote by Ray Pritchard
““Waiting does not mean doing nothing . Waiting for the Lord means, "I know God is at work in this situation even though I cannot see it at the moment. I will not let this overwhelm me because being overwhelmed will not solve the problem anyway. By God's grace I will do the next thing that needs to be done, trusting that God is at work behind the scenes." That little step forward is a step of faith . While you wait, you do what needs to be done because you believe God is at work in the midst of the crisis.””

![“I had never done a Director's Cut narration on Beaches so I did in time for the release of the DVD. It was a great visit and I do a whole-behind-the-scenes thing and I tell stories about Bette [Mudler] and Barbara Hershey and everybody and that was fun. It made me cry again.” quote by Garry Marshall](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e30/garry-marshall-12551_barbara_i-had-never-done-a-director-s-cut-narrat_66832.jpg)
