| Once upon a time there was a wise Israelite who spoke many parables and proverbs, and who rode into Jerusalem upon a mule and presented himself as king. That man was Solomon, son of David, who lived nearly a thousand years before Jesus Christ. According to the Old Testament, King Solomon spoke 3,000 proverbs. The Bible contains less than half of this material. You have stumbled upon this website for a reason: to procure a very special book of antiquity to add to your expansive library of literary merit. Herein, you will find more of Solomon's proverbs and wise sayings, for centuries hidden from the general population. |

| Once upon a time there was a woman named Martha who lived in Bethany near Jerusalem and knew Jesus Christ intimately. No, not sexually, but she was close to Jesus and his disciples. Again, not in any sexual capacity. She was a righteous woman and a hard worker. She also knew how to read and write and she put this to good use writing about Jesus and his disciples. This is her book, or a collection of her writings compiled in a book, for centuries hidden from the general population. |

| "I am the most ignorant of men; I do not have a man's understanding. I have not learned wisdom, nor have I knowledge of the Holy One. Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Who has gathered up the wind in the hollow of his hands? Who has wrapped the waters in his cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and the name of his son? Tell me if you know!" (Proverbs 30:2-4) Find out the answer to this and other questions you may not realize you had. |

| Romance stories don't always have a happy ending. However, somewhere in the middle is a little bit of love and joy. Then, again, that little bit doesn’t always justify all the heartache and pain. It was English poet Alfred Lord Tennyson who wrote in 1850, 'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.' This, however, is not a universally proven fact and to which some may call bullshit. Separation, abandon, divorce, betrayal -- was there ever really love in the first place? Or was it just an intense rush of biological chemicals that eventually flushed out of the brain like a toilet? |

| A journal of grievances chronicling the true story of an unassuming and underappreciated government employee. Warning: This book is religious in nature and may cause uneasiness, apprehension, anxiety, and perturbation in the average civil servant who believes that proselytizing amongst government co-workers is against policy and the U.S. Constitution. As a government employee, I have learned from habit to record daily activities that may eventually serve as my undoing — documentation generally referred to as Cover-Your-Ass (CYA), which may help in defense of one's own continuing existence in service to the citizens who pay salaries through taxation. Over the years, co-workers come and go; some more memorable than others. The names in this volume have been changed to protect the innocent, although no one is truly innocent. This one in particular I shall call Karl (Karl Marshweed). He was of an older generation who had a more dedicated work ethic. Karl was also more interesting than me. He had lived a fuller life: having spent time in jail, the military, and as an insurance salesman. Once I began working with Karl, my daily CYA documentation began to evolve into a chronicle of his many grievances; if not for posterity, then for my own amusement which I affectionately called The Curmudgeon Chronicles. |
