Gumbo Lagniappe (You’Ve Got to Be Kidding)
Author: David J. Holcombe
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1728347203
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
GUMBO LAGNIAPPE (You’ve Got to Be Kidding) contains original plays, many with public health themes, but others dealing with our fascinating current political and social climate. Several plays were written for this year’s Spectral Sisters Productions Ten-Minute Play Festival for which the theme was “You’ve Got to Be Kidding,” thus the second part of the title. A collection of selected recent medical essays, some of which complement the plays, also add to this literary gumbo, as does a new translation by the author of Moliere’s classic, “Tartuffe.” Together, these new plays, an old classic and some assorted medical essays, offer “lagniappe,” a little extra, to the body of world literature. This small town, Alexandria, stuck in the middle of Louisiana and two hours’ drive (at least) from any larger city, has the advantage of being like a tramp steamer isolated in the immensity of the Indian Ocean. We have learned to entertain ourselves on the trip and this unlikely location has produced a host of plays from many other talented, but unrecognized playwrights. May creative energy continue to bubble forth from this curious location, as far off-Broadway as you can get, but perhaps a bit closer to heaven. My thanks to those who want to explore something new while supporting an undiscovered author from Central Louisiana.

Sharing a Thought with Lagniappe
Author: Rose C. Miller
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1456874500
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
We see many devotional books written today with hopes of getting God’s children to be a devout servant. The church has many spiritual anemic members living day after day on a poor diet of the Holy Scriptures. The idea to write a devotional book came to me under the power of the Holy Spirit. The devotional thoughts with lagniappe came as I gave myself fully to my Lord. Under His leadership, I moved forward in obedience to share my love for the lost and never once had difficulty writing with Parkinson´s. Very few people knew how to spell “lagniappe”, while most everyone knew what it meant and enjoyed the practice of giving or receiving the small extra gift. These devotional thoughts are written in a simple way so to appeal and be understood by all age groups. There is nothing complicated about the love of God. Share the lagniappe with a hug, smile, tender touch, kindness, small gifts, and love.

Book Description
What power makes a seedling burst To escape darkness of its shell? From what great muck is beauty born To emerge radiant from Hell? Please, judge not from mere appearance, As there are great Mysteries here — Beginning with the seed within, A spark that cannot disappear! Fear not the trials of Winter On that road to self-becoming. Prepare instead to boldly bloom, As the Spring is always coming! *This collection includes twelve poems. ---------------------------------------- Sample: Hidden Flame Friction, friction, breathing smoke Within a world most dark! Stoke the embers of the past With lick of precious spark. Smolder, seethe discovery In emptiness of night; Ripple, burn, and manifest Most vital fire bright! Throb with urge for secret warmth, Releasing bitters old; Melt the rigid for the hard, Illuminating bold! Hear it whispered flame to flame Through crackle, pop, and snap: Soaring heat consumes all lost As smoke reveals new map. Kiss me, Love, to glow anew, Ignited by our gaze. Let's dance within these vapors, And feed this mighty blaze.

Book Description
These are short stories based on musings of a seasoned citizen. Some are preposterous and others just posterous, according to the author. They are sprinkled with oddly named fictional characters, some based on real people. You could call the author a Cracker Barrel philosopher, but that might be an insult to the restaurant chain.
