  1. Not sure how to see season 2 episode 4 when it comes out. How do put an app. For season 2 on my Samsung TV. I’m not very tech savvy at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you for your gift of writing and pray many will come to Christ through your good works through the Holy Spirit.
    Blessings.
