[Joni Steele]

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!
