the new place to worship

It has been difficult for me to get into “the zone of worship” lately.  One church I attend has a very dry singing of hymns, (and I love hymns); the other church is very loud and repetitive.  I have wondered why this is, and sad I haven’t been able to change it yet.  But I have been in “the zone of worship” in a new place, the gym.

Marty gave me a shuffle for my vacation a few years ago.  I listen to sacred music while I read and try to forget I’m working out most often.  But I do have some contemporary/alternative/worship songs on there too.  When they play, I just want to sing out while on the elliptical machine, or treadmill or stretching.  I have often walked to my car singing along hoping no one walks close enough to me to hear.  Who knew working out would have such a great side benefit?
