I am not one for bandwagons.  Not one to consciously make resolutions peculiar to a day or a year.  While listening to carols this Christmas, however, this line echoed in my heart as a specific possibility for the new year. 

What I know in my heart? That the one thing is necessary to the other.  However you position the words. 

In my notes for the first day of a brand new year, a prayer:

I have some well defined goals this year.  Top of that list is this – the joy that only comes by making it all a complete gift.  The best I can strive for in the end is making it all an Amen.  However it shakes out this year.
