Her point was that given how much Christmas music we fill our ears with, given how much more significant Holy Week should be for us, we should be doing at least as much. She encouraged us to create our own Lenten Playlists. I thought the idea was BRILLIANT and tonight, I sat down with itunes, my music and a hymnbook and assembled my listening for the next three weeks. I thought I would share what I included, just in case you might be interested in doing the same. It's a pretty eclectic list but then, my musical tastes are pretty eclectic:
Jesus Messiah (Hello Love) 4:49 Chris Tomlin WOW Hits 2009
Hosanna (Praise Is Rising) 4:32 Brenton Brown Wow Worship
Hosanna 4:55 Selah Wow Worship

I'll try and include some of the other things I am doing to prepare for Easter in the next week or so.
What would be on your Lenten playlist? How do you prepare for Easter?
What a great idea!!!
