Owen has this as part of a post on his blog:
"painting is where I worship best and most thrive..."
As I read it, I felt my head nod in agreement. But for me it's music.
Last Friday night I hauled out an ancient Hillsong CD (Simply Worship II), stuck it in the CD player, turned it up to neighbour-hearing levels, and opened up my piano. I spent the rest of the evening worshipping with my fingers. I play by ear and instinct, and found that 2 years with a worship band have enhanced my ability to pick up the right key immediately, with my fingers automatically picking out the harmonious and slightly-unharmonious chords in the songs.
Somtimes I sang, sometimes I just played. I'm not sure the neighbours were too impressed, but heck - I was worshipping! (And they get up early on a Saturday morning to bother me with sounds of baths running and feet stomping around, so I can stay up late on a Friday night to bother them - right? :) )
I don't know much about worshipping any other ways. Music is it for me. I'm trying to learn, but it's a struggle - I still do it best with my fingers doing the worshipping.
