LARRY B. STELL has written this book and dedicates his many abroad experiences to the many civilians, military and families, embassy and corporate families who live in other countries. Overseas schools provide a unique opportunity for our elementary and secondary teachers to travel and see the world while working in their profession. In this book, Larry dwells deeply into his perceived concept of Americans abroad, in the international setting. His own perception of the European world was aptly acquired during his twenty-plus years living abroad. The time span was 1960 to 1982. In the 19 chapters of this book, he moves from his first assignment in Tripoli, Libya, where he taught biology for one semester, then, fortunately, he relocated to one of the best duty stations in Germany, Ramstein Air Base. He taught science in the Department of Defense Overseas Dependent School, Ramstein Junior High School, from January 1961 until June 1966. The rest of his years abroad were spent in Italy, the Netherlands, and then Larry returned, again, to Karlsruhe, Germany, in 1971, which, at that time was the European Headquarters of the Overseas Dependent Schools. The time spent abroad gave him the opportunity to witness the feelings and attitudes of Americans abroad, as well as those of Libyans, Germans, Italians, and the Dutch. His exposure enlightened him into a world perspective, and the limitations he would have suffered had he remained in the United States for his early adult years. The richness he acquired through his second language, German, and living in four foreign countries enhanced his acquisition of self-awareness.&#65279; The European experience is one he advocates for all young professionals in their early careers. He regrets he did not have an opportunity to live in the Orient, which he firmly believes would have broadened his perspective, in the world arena, even more!

Sarah chases after a strange object that is blown about by strong winds. She is attracted by its colour, and is determined to find out what it is. Sarah's first attempt at chasing it fails. A few days later, Sarah comes face-to-face with the object on the ledge below her window. It is a flower with all the colorus of the rainbow. It becomes her treasure. The flower eventually fades and loses all the colour, but Sarah plants it, expecting something to happen. Just when there seems to be no chance of anything happening, something wonderful did. The story teaches patience, problem solving, caring, and determination. It also touches on consequences for certain actions.

This book was written for the bene&#64257;t of humanity so the future of our existence would have a better chance of moral ethics and longevity. Whereas it would keep the mind in an elevated state, the spirit would be at ease, and the soul would prance at its owner's demand. The body itself will resemble perfection. The material deals with your character, your personal growth as a human being, decision-making, education, responsibility, and staying focused, just to name a few. When I was scribbling these thoughts on paper, I knew for certain that my life had transitioned far better than I expected. And if there was no other way that I could contribute to society, I knew dedicating my mind, my love, and my life would seal the deal.

What do we mean by "we the people?" Who are the people? Who claims authority to speak for the people? How seriously do we take the words of our grand proclamations in the Declaration of Independence, the preamble to the US Constitution, the Gettsysburg Address, and the Pledge of Allegiance? These are the questions that Darrel Nash pursues in this book. He finds a large mixture of conflicting answers as he explores the founding documents and later initiatives to build our democratic republic. The struggles for answers have continued throughout our history.Part Two records the beginning of the inquiry. Nash wanted to find the bases for the First, Second, and Tenth Amendments to the Constitution. To do this, he reviewed the Federalist Papers which are purported to form the intellectual basis for the Constitution. He found several of the arguments less than convincing.But before the reader can see why Nash made his conclusion in Part Two, Part One is needed to set the stage. This lays out how only a small part of the population was represented and participated in creating the Constitution. What might the Constitution be if all residents of the US had been represented in its creation?Part Three goes into the Federalist Papers in more depth. It shows how several political forces have worked and are working today to influence how we, as a nation, interpret the Constitution and access the promises of the Founders. This Part end with changes needed to proceed with creating a more perfect union-a nation that more fully lives up to our grand proclamations. Since retiring from the federal government in Washington DC, Dr. Darrel Nash has written several stories and essays. This is his first full-length book.

She'd had the hard talk with her family. They'd been shocked. Appalled even, at what her lifelong friend had been capable of. Then she met James Baldwin-serendipitously-and the monster from her past seemed a distant memory. Until he forced himself back into her life, her personal space, then exploded with rage. Would he succeed in his plot to control her, take her by force, go so far as to kill her new boyfriend? James had spent a lifetime protecting his heart from romantic entanglements-until he saw her, heard her speak, and looked into those impossibly green eyes. But a relationship with Annie Jo Parker could cost much more than the loss of his heart to a beautiful champion barrel racer. It could cost him everything. In the throes of a harsh winter, Annie Jo Parker and James Baldwin brave the elements, the danger, and the threats, for a chance to simply embrace the joys of falling in love. Not too much to ask... Or so you'd think.

In this life, we can expect change every day that we wake up. And sometimes that change may scare us, but we can be rest assured that God knows what he's doing. I was scared of change for many years until God showed me his path for me. When I was younger I was told by several people that I had a way of putting words together. And then when I got the feeling and inspiration to start writing, that is when I knew it was time for a change. From a farm boy in northwest Iowa to a soldier in the Army. Then as an EMT to a fugitive recovery agent and now an author and poet from South Dakota. We all have a path in our lives and that path has a purpose. And I hope this book brings you peace and inspiration in your life. And just as my first book, Purposeful Poetry, I hoped would bring purpose and guidance to everyone. I now live in a beautiful house with my wonderful wife and four kids and a dog named Oakley. I have found my path and it's purpose. And always remember these four words. To God the Glory. Because if it wasn't for God, we would have no path and no purpose.
