The Poet Shack is Where Believer Poet Ahrend Walters LivesBeliever Poet Ahrend Walters lives in a simple building he has dubbed his "Poet Shack". It is here on this small plot of land where he lives simply, in the country surrounded by nature and his numerous animals, and where he writes many of his poems. Nature, animals, and indeed all of God's creation, are very dear to Ahrend Walters. He draws inspiration from this place near Wiggins, Mississippi. He can commune with God and he delights in the trees, the small creek that babbles nearby, and in the splash of daily sunlight and the heavenly curtain of stars.
Ahrend Walters is a young man and a poet with an incredible gift and a strong faith. He will tell anyone who listens that God has called him to a life dedicated to Jesus Christ and that his gift for writing is to point to the perfection that can only be achieved in Christ. His writing is not his only gift. He is also a musician, singer and painter and he uses all of his gifts for the purpose he believes he has been called. But it is specifically through his poetry that he expresses the beauty and harmony of life. This he finds not only in the good, but also in the struggle. He is not so naïve as to believe that all things are sweet and wonderful. But all things are created by a loving God and therefore all things are used for a universal goodness.
