RE:Solutions

One of my New Year Resolutions is to try and blog a few times a week.  And, if I'm being honest, this is the resolution that I'm the most afraid of.  I have plenty of things to say, I'm just a little nervous about sharing them and leaving them "out there".
As I've wondered about what to post on first, I realized that the notion of creating a resolution requires that at some point there was a solution.  How can we have a re-solution unless we've had a solution to begin with.
This leads me to wonder, what was my original solution?  I feel compelled to offer the Sunday School answer "Jesus".  And, I must confess that I only stumbled across the solution.  I'm not creative enough to imagine a Savior that loves me the ways that Jesus does.  But I'm grateful for the Jesus solution.
This leads me to wonder about resolution.  Does that mean Jesus again?  Is this a theological issue like justification/sanctification?  Or maybe it all falls into some other category.  
All things being equal, I'll try and start blogging with the tension of not knowing.  Maybe this will be the place that I work it out or it begins to make more sense.
Resolutions were much easier when it was just about dieting...
