You can check out the church at http:\/\/www.mayfairplymouth.org\/. You can also visit me at my blog, where I add material about every other day or so.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoy photography, that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m treating you with a different photo of mine each week on the web site.  Over three hundred of my photos are for sale at www.istockphoto.com.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also a ventriloquist, of sorts, and treat the children of my church with a &#8220;visit with Ricky&#8221; every third Sunday of the month in the morning worship services.<\/p>\n<p>Raising white homing pigeons is another of my hobbies.  I enjoy watching them soar overhead.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s just a little bit about me.  Thanks for visiting.

Then one day a miraculous experience  happens to Kathryn at the garden fountain, and she begins living an adventure beyond her wildest dreams. Love and sacrifice take on new meaning as she involves a social worker and a police detective in carrying out what she believes to be her calling &#8212; to rescue a street child named Jasmine.<\/p>\n<p><em>Kathryn&#8217;s Fountain<\/em> celebrates the gifts that the generations can bring to each other. The conclusion is a resounding affirmation that it&#8217;s never too late to make a difference.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to read an excerpt from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/0975961993\">Kathryn&#8217;s Fountain<\/a>, go <a href=\"http:\/\/thestorybeginnings.blogspot.com\/2009\/08\/kathryns-fountain-chapter-1.html\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, the Christian Fiction Blog Alliance is introducing Kathryn&#8217;s Fountain Cladach Publishing (November 8, 2008) by David Claassen ABOUT THE AUTHOR: I&#8217;m a follower of Jesus Christ and seek to live my life to please Him and for His glory.
