A home for Christian writers — Welcome to New Creation, my first publication on Medium. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” — 2 Corinthians 5:17 I started this publication because I wanted to have a place where I could share my faith and…

What brought this on? Was I overactive? Traveling too much? With too many people? Absent from God? Whatever the reason I can feel it now — that draw into silence and solitude I tend to resist it at first I feel a fear rise up in me I’ll be lonely I can’t bear loneliness Then boredom I fear that too Isn’t solitude a waste of time?
