Hey friends!
Welcome back to Storied. As we mentioned a few weeks back, we’ve officially entered into our “Summer Hours” here at Storied HQ. Which basically means we’re just slowing down the content we put out here and are trying to spend some time together as a family while Chris is home from tour for the summer.
If you’re a paid Storied subscriber— scroll down to get the link for this month’s Zoom call and all the details you need to login. Hope everyone is having a lovely summer so far!

Attention as... worship?
By Chris Llewellyn
For the longest time, I assumed that “Behold!” - that antiquated word peppered throughout our Bibles - was only there for dramatic effect. It certainly adds a bit of Shakespearean gravitas to whatever follows; it feels like the sort of thing Sir Ian McKellen might say to grab the attention of a wayward hobbit.
I had never really given the word much thought. But it actually appears in the scriptures about 1,500 times (depending on the translation), so it’s probably worthy of a bit of consideration.
