Milton Road

out along the dusty road
stones cut the weary feet

drops of blood leave a trail
they leave a tale

are they from striving?
are they for healing?
are they perhaps not even mine,
for You are here

And in the air
BLUE AIR
with angel clouds
trumpeting across the sky

jet stream vapors
appear to be
winging on a course of collision
but, they pass on to the sea

Windchimes~~Windwaves~~Wind of Your Spirit
out along a dusty road

About The E Blog

WELCOME to THE "E" BLOG!! You will find most recent postings on the left. At the bottom of this column, marked "labels", you will find older writings that I (Bill) wrote from January to May 08. During this time I was amazed to discover that my "writing release" resonated with many of my facebook audience who encouraged the development of the blog. By clicking on the topic of your choice you will be taken to that piece of writing.

Kris' and my heart is full today because of the journey we have been on. We want to encourage our readers to never give up on a dream. We are grateful that you want to be a part of our lives as you read our blog. We invite you to pray for our ministry as Kris and I seek to be, in the words of Henri Nouwen, 'wounded healers'. God bless your time on our blog. Let us know how we can pray for you, your requests will NOT go wasted.

About Us

Bill and Kris Effler moved to Tennessee from their native California in June of 2000 without a job or extended family. God has brought Bill and Kris through many invaluable, painful, incredible and faith building experiences. This blog cite is an unvarnished, largely unedited, sharing of thoughts that Bill and Kris are learning as they seek to live out a life of total dependence on God and the mysterious movement of the Spirit. This cite is meant to build, challenge and inspire deeper levels of spirit living in Jesus Christ.
