This booklet is a report on and an analysis of the Confederate Secret Service. Any errors or misinterpretations of referenced sources are strictly those of the author. The author is an experienced intelligence officer, but he also harbors the caution of a typical intelligence analyst and knows that there is always more to know.My interest in this topic stems from both my intelligence career and from research of family history/genealogy which begun in 1983. The genealogy reveals that ancestors served in nearly every conflict starting with the American Revolution. That family military tradition continues in the current generation with two sons who are serving as officers of US Marines.

Not understanding one's real value can be catastrophic, especially in children. Tiny the Eaglet had forgotten who he really was; desperate and lost, he assimilated to the only animals that were nice to him when he had no one else-the chickens. Tiny starts acting like the chickens-pecking like them, clucking like them, and never dares to fly. He really believed to be a chicken, even though he looked quite different to them and had dreams about flying every night. It is not until his friend Jonathan sees the resemblance between Tiny and an eagle that he realizes that Tiny was meant for greater things than just a chicken coop. But the lying serpent wants to make Tiny believe that she is stronger than him and that she will devour him. It is up to Tiny to believe and remember who he truly is and how powerful he was created to be. Like Tiny, many have forgotten who they really are. The enemy lies and makes people believe they are common people; but common, they are not. Humans were created for great things-sons and daughters of an almighty king, the creator and ruler of the universe. They are called to walk with heads high up and always remembering they are royalty. It is important that the children understand this truth at a very young age, and one must help them comprehend that they, just like Tiny, were created for mightier and greater things. Embark on an empowering journey of self-discovery and take back your title away from that lying serpent.

The Larson icehouse had stood abandoned on the south shore of Black Wolf Lake for the past eighty years. During that time, the building had a rather checkered, some might say sordid past. And now, in the spring of 1980, evil had apparently taken up residence.Jessica Wiggins, Stewart Gregory, and Caleb Anders, eighth graders at Immanuel Lutheran School in Longville, Minnesota, were enjoying their last spring break before starting high school in the fall. Jess had a faith statement to prepare for church, Stewart had a project to complete for the science fair, and Caleb . . . well, Caleb was bored. But Caleb was never bored for long.Some strange men had occupied the icehouse. Caleb’s curiosity was an itch that needed scratching. Over the next five days, with Jess and Stewart’s help, he would determine who these men were and why their mission was so secretive. In the process, he would put himself in grave danger.There are singular moments in our lives when our actions can truly make a difference. In the spring of 1980, the activities at the Larson icehouse would provide one of these moments in Caleb’s short life.

Through the Lens: A Book of Short Stories is about stories that derive from the heart and were inspired by God, life experiences, and learned principles. All the stories are based on a female teenager's perception, but do not exclude the male perspective. The stories will shed light on various issues that young adults may struggle with, such as isolation, suicide, peer pressure, drugs, family complications, inadequacy, judgment, and salvation. These stories are real-life examples compacted with tough lessons and key messages, in hopes of permeating the minds of the younger generation to find positive ways to handle the tribulations of life, despite their present circumstances. Every story is intended to teach all young adults about the significance of kindness, sacrifice, temperance, and love. With this book, I hope to provide awareness to the reoccurring problems that most teenagers and young adults are confronted with.
