Prep for Message Prep

I have spent time this week preparing my message for the weekend. Something that I began doing about 6 months ago,  was listening to a playlist I created called Canvas.

Before I begin praying, studying and writing, I listen to the songs on my Canvas list. For me it has become an important part of my personal preparation. This list is to my message prep what my favorite pair of jeans are to walking out the door. (I hope that makes sense!) Anyway, here is the list:
