Joni Steele · Oct 30, 2020

Wow! I would love to participate but am not technologically savvy enough to tackle this! Lol! However, I will share a little about myself. I turn 60 next month. I gave my life to the Lord when I was 44. I'm single, obviously, or else I wouldn't be here. I come from a show biz family and was in show biz myself before coming to Christ. Except for making Jesus my Lord, this is the most interesting thing about me! Lol!

Hi,

I'm not new, but it has been a very long time since I have been active here.

If you scroll back and find my first introduction, not much has changed. My youngest kid is now 21. We are trying to start a business together.
