POET'S REST is an intimate community living
experience, somewhat like Francis Schaeffer's L'Brie in Switzerland, or like an Israeli Kibbutz,
or possibly an Italian apartment villa. We believe
in living in community in order to flesh out what the body of Christ
is to be. Although we love to discuss topics of every nature, we
feel that it is better to live honestly and rub shoulders to become
more like Christ than to always be right theologically.
There are private study areas for artists, researchers, students,
writers, musicians, missionaries, as well as community rooms for
meetings, making music or watching shows.
We provide room, furniture & utilities. Dinner conversations
around here can be compelling!
Rooms are provided on a semester by semester lease:
September through December, January through May, and Summer.
$200 deposit required. $475 per month.
God puts holes and vice grips
alike in our lives for a purpose. He makes us so uncomfortable and ill
fitting in one thing that we will work our way out of it and live the life
he intends for us. But, if we don't work through the problem ourselves, we
will not be prepared or worthy of the new life. The emperor moth struggles
for hours to get out of its tiny hole in its tough cocoon, but if he
doesn't struggle, the fluid in his body does not get pushed into the
mechanisms that make his wings fly, and his life's purpose will be
aborted. The mission of Poet's Rest is to provide a reflective and
interactive place to weather transitions."
