Once when I was a kid, the children’s ministry at my church performed the musical, “Fat Fat Jehoshaphat.”
My dear friend Laura Parker always got the leads in the plays because she could sing like a nightingale. I on the other hand….well….couldn’t. So in “Fat Fat Jehoshaphat,” I was cast as the scribe. Apparently discontented with being just a scribe, I decided to jazz things up a bit. So… in my announcement of Fat Fat Jehoshaphat entering the room during the performance…in true-to-Biblical-time fashion…I shouted my “Here Ye, Here Ye” line with a decidedly 8 year old version of a Brittish accent.
And so, I made my stage debut….
I have no idea what Ann Voskamp and I were giddy over in this picture from Allume this past fall, but it really looks to me like I’m announcing her with a Brittish “Here Ye, Here Ye.”
And since there’s something worth announcing…in the very best way that I know how, I say to you….
Here Ye, Here Ye!

We freshened things up a bit on the ol world wide web slice that Allume.com occupies, and we’re pretty pleased with the way it turned out! Really…we think it deserves a “Here Ye, Here Ye” for sure!
Oh, my! I love you, Logan! I don’t recall any “Here, Ye, Here, Ye’s” from the stage but if you had it would’ve been awesome. I, too, can not sing but somehow managed to land one of the leads my senior year of high school…I think the talent pickins were slim, and we were doing Oklahoma and Ado Annie was a quirky enough character that completely off pitch worked. 🙂
Whooohooo! Looking forward to being there!
