Jeremiah 23:23:  "Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off?"

Greetings,
I'm praying for my family and my friends affected by Hurricane Irene in Jesus name that He will restore whatever was lost. In the midst of our storms, God is still there.
As many of you know, I worked in television for ten years at KMOV. Last month, I had the opportunity to revisit friends and be in front of the camera as a guest instead of working behind the scenes. I received hugs from the security guard to the camera crew. I enjoyed being among friends.

FINALLY Her Dress is OUT

Sometimes a woman just wants to splurge on something new. Find out what happens when Pepper Trudeau is all dressed up and goes to the ball, but another woman is modeling the exact same attire except in a smaller size.  At first, Pepper is embarrassed, then the night gets interesting when she meets Drake Logan. Her Dress is a romantic novella about the all too common occurrence—two women shopping at the same place.

I'm sorry to announce my dear sister, Leslie Esdaile aka L.A. Banks, passed away a few days after I sent out my August newsletter. Please continue for her family. She inspired the cover for my first romantic novella e-book. Leslie is missed already.
