NEW PHONE NUMBER EFFECTIVE 8/19/2012

727-288-1545

727-288-1545

In an effort to reduce our operating costs Straight Ahead Outreach-Taking Back Your Life Inc.(STA) has switched cell phone providers from Sprint to MetroPCS.  As a result, Sprint would not allow us to port our numbers over to our new carrier.  This has resulted in our NEW NUMBER as of today Sunday 8/19/2012.

This change is saving the officers of STA over $125.00 per month as they pay for the phones personally and at the same time it gives us more advanced communication tools.

This Thing We Call Homelessness…..Part 1

English: Homeless man, Tokyo. Français : Un sa...

Image via Wikipedia

1/20/2012

Homelessness, they are Men, Women, Elderly, Teens, Disabled and Children, even Newborns.  Maybe they are You.

The photo at left is evidently of a homeless disabled man in Tokyo.

Homelessness has been an issue since Bible times and who knows maybe even before that.   As it states in Deuteronomy 15, there will always be poor in the land.  So it simply is not something new that happened since the World Wars or anything like that.

The thing is we have made Homelessness way to complicated.  We have made it bigger then it is in fact.   We have forgot many things about it, why it exists and what should be done about it.

When did creating multi-million dollar nonprofits become the answer to dealing with Homelessness?

What happened to shift people from helping each other, their family, their neighbor, friend and stranger, …….. to saying, “let them go to the local nonprofit, mission shelter, soup kitchen” and we will hide behind our gates and walls.

When?  When did that shift happen?  You may not like the answer or agree with it, but it all happened at that very moment when Adam and Eve decided to disobey God and listen to satan, taking from the Tree of Knowledge.

If it was not for that very moment, literally, none of all this would be necessary.  None of it.  Not the trauma of Homelessness, not the worry of the poor, no nonprofits would have been needed, millions, no billions of dollars would not have had to be raised on behalf of Homelessness.  None of it.

So what am i saying?  Just Give Up on the issue?  No, no, not at all.  However, i am indeed saying we need to re-evaluate how we as a society, a World, handle Homelessness.

Recently, as i have seen in the news,  some churches have been sending letters to their members asking them to “participate” more in the church, “take an active part” or find a new place to go worship.  The reasoning is those who are not participating are placing too much of a burden on the churches.  I am confident this is not the first time this has been done.  At first i was a bit taken back, but then as i thought about it for the next 2 minutes, i realized it was going along with what i have been thinking on and  studying in the Bible a great deal lately.

Bottom-line is, God does not want us to sit idle, not participate.  But rather He expects and requires us to do quite the opposite.  He requires us to participate, to work hard.

At what?  At doing exactly what HE wants us to do and states in the Bible.  HE went to a great deal of effort and time to give us HIS rules/laws in the first five books of the Bible.  THEN, because we as man were not listening even STILL HE had to send Jesus to give his own life in order so we may have even MORE Tools to work with!  Another words to NOT BE IDLE.

Now, since most of us nonprofits who are helping the Homeless are in one way or the other Spiritual, Christian or of the like, this “should” make sense to you.  Although i still know many of you will scoff at this.

BTW, what i am stating here is not open for debate.  I am simply speaking what God has placed in my heart to speak.

I personally have had a very strong, close and what i call intense relationship with Jesus since about  1993.  I got to know Him very personally by doing the work He has given me to do over the last 26 or so years.  The thing is, i had gotten away from using the Bible to stay close to His Father Jehovah God also.  The short of it is, i started to study the Bible again in a different light, knowing what i know today opposed to what i knew even 15 years ago.  It has brought a whole new experience to me, with much more knowledge coming to me each day i read and meditate on it.  Especially the Old Testament….Where God, HIS anger, HIS Love, HIS Glory and laws are displayed and explained by HIM.  If you haven’t read the Old testament for some years, go back, pick it up and study, do not glance, but study on and meditate (think deeply) on the Old testament with the knowledge of life as you know it today.  I believe you will be surprised and maybe even ashamed as i was.

Annnnnd so as i often do i digress and ramble a bit :-))!  But it was sort of necessary.

I will continue this in This Thing We Call Homelessness Part 2….more to come

I get Daily Inspiration emails from Neale Donald Walsch  and i thought todays’ was especially great!

As received in my email from 
http://inspiremetext.com/Products/1001
 of Neale Donald Walsch’s website.

On this day of your life, dear friend, I believe God wants you to know…

…that embarrassment is a pointless experience. You

have permission to abandon it.

 Replace it with self love and love of all others–and

love of the imperfections you imagine you see in both.

In truth, both are perfect in their ‘imperfection,’ for

‘imperfection’ merely means ‘incompletion.’

 So do not be embarrassed if you haven’t completed

graduate school yet. Rather, look forward to the

adventure of doing it.

8/3/2011 – 10:10am

***UPDATE, 10:45pm:  Yep, been a long day.  As far as this Family of 3….yes.  We got them to a shelter here in Clearwater, FL. where at 10:45pm it is approx 90 degrees.  They will be sleeping outside under a carport style shelter on a narrow mattress placed on a hard plastic support pedestal much like the ones in this photo.  We have been involved with this family for almost  9 months now and it kills me to have to see them, including the 22-year-old female in the family sleeping outside inches away from strangers.  They are good people in bad times.  They are not allowed to use the restrooms inside and must use the outdoor ones.  They will be allowed 3 showers per week and will receive 3 meals per day.  We will continue to work on helping them to make this phase extremely short.  The photo above are of the style of mattresses they are sleeping on and the spacing.  Except this photo is of the sleeping area inside the shelter.  Theirs are outside as i stated already.  We will continue our Fight to end this episode of Social Decay as soon as possible.

I have not written for too long.  We have been simply too busy.  Plus, i simply do not have the “headroom” to really write.   It is 10:10am and i am scrambling to get to a Family of 3 who at 11:00am will be homeless and on the street.  Literally.  I have to get to them by 11:30 so we can make sure their belongings will be safe or else they will be discarded and stolen by staff onsite at the motel.  We are paying out of our personal funds to store their belongings and have done so for almost 9 months now.  We will transport them to a couple of shelters IF they have availability, but in this heat here in Florida like everywhere else, they are all pretty much full.  

The Family of 3 will be separated.   Wow, i am excited.  Aren’t you?

I know it is sarcastic.  No apologies.  I am pretty much over our people in our USA who could give a rats ass about our own.  Enough of us do not care except for our own pleasures and desires.

It takes more than a handful.  It takes more than a few dollars.  

Just a fact.

As always, i severely appreciate those of you who have helped us do what we do and i am not expecting you to give more.  You have given from Germany, Australia, Essex London, and the USA.  I expect more of the General Public to step it up and chip in.  I expect it yes, but i am not counting on it.  We will do what we can, if we can.  If we cannot, then we simply won’t.

I am on my way now to see what i can do for this Family of 3.  But yes, i am going to “try” to bring them to shelters.  Something STA is not fond of.   No matter what takes place today we will have worked our asses off for this family and we will have done all we can.  

IT will not have been enough.  

This is Social Decay at its very best.

I will be meeting in about 1.5 hours with a family in Crisis in St. Petersburg, FL.  The adult son has Emotional Damage.  Some inflicted by others and some put on him by himself……………due to the Emotional Damage inflicted by others which has made him think adverse things about himself, questioning himself, over and over.  Not knowing which direction to go or how he should be or what others expect him to be or act like or live like or look like or sound like or move like or friend like or, or , or , or , or ………..he has been tied up into a pretzel and doesn’t know how to untie himself.  He isn’t sure even IF he needs to be untied. 

Treat a Person As They Are, and They Will Remain As They Are.

Treat Them As They Could Be, & They Will Become What They Should Be.

Does this person have some issues he needs to work on?  Sure does.  Don’t we all?   Don’t you?   

Today i will be speaking to and getting to know the Mother and the Sister.   They are both also in Crisis.  They do not know which way to turn either.  I am going to work on giving them some relief, some Hope, some direction.   We have spoke some already on a couple occasions.

Can this succeed?  I believe it can.  Is the person involved here worth it, even after all the hardship they are placing on others?   Hmmmmm…..wait a minute.  There isn’t just an individual involved here.  The Whole Family is involved……in Crisis.

Will they be ok?     Yes.   How can you help today at this moment?   Prayers, Prayers and thoughts of good for this Family please.

And in case the individual, i will call him a Friend In Need, is shown this writing, i would like to say to him………..  E.S., it is Time for you Sir, as the picture below is saying……. reach back, reach wayyyy back, it is Time, Time to reach back and Take Back Your Life.    Go For It!   E.S., Give me a call, lets get together.  No bull, no pressure (well maybe a little, lol), lots of laughter, and lots of Hope.  Will it be easy E.S.?  Nah, but you can trust me.   Give me a call Sir.  Today.  :-))!

Join us in preventing, Fighting Social Decay, Today.  Make a decision, a pledge if you will to Stop Emotional Damage.  Now, Right Now.

The Debt Ceiling.  How disgusting what is taking place in our government.  

The photo above is of DONNA, our disabled Friend In Need in Tennessee and one of the many, many people who will lose greatly and will be in danger of losing their apartments and or homes if our government does not stop acting like school children.

The Disabled, the United States of America Veterans and more will ALL be in Danger.

Our government needs to realize and remember they are servants of the Citizens of the United States and were voted in.  They work for the Citizens of the USA.  They DO NOT and ARE NOT self-employed. 

IF, IF they do not reach an agreement to rectify this Debt Ceiling, then DONNA and millions of others just like her and more will be in grave Danger of becoming Homeless and Penniless along with losing other life balancing benefits.

You HAVE GOT to be kidding me!!

Thank You for stopping by. 

We wanted to give everyone a brief snapshot of our year so far.  Our operating year is Jan – Dec.  

Total Donations received to date in 2011:   $1195.00

 Plain and Simple Fact.

We need to rely on folks like You for funds.  Folks like You need to rely on folks like us to do the work.  

If Not You, Then Who?

Since January of this year, we have assisted on a one on one basis over 100 people with a number of our services.  In addition, just this month we have placed two laptop computers on a “loaner” basis to two of our Friends In Need in order to provide them better access to look for jobs, housing and other needs rather than accessing the “Chronic Assistance Cycle”, we are showing them to do it on their own.  This weekend we plan spending time with two of them training them more on the use of the Internet, Microsoft Word and Excel.  The goal is to build them to self-reliance as soon as possible and get them Up&Out of the Chronic Assistance Cycle.  In addition, we will be meeting with 3 others this weekend for follow up interviews.  It all takes fuel and funds for meals at these meetings.  Remember, we are meeting and spending Time with those in need.  These are not Golf outings. 

We spend extensive time with all of those we encounter.  It takes money.  Plain and Simple Fact.

If you do the math, assisting over 100 people with food, clothing, transportation, extensive time and more, while funds raised is $1195.00. This breaks down to available funds of $11.95 for each person we have assisted.  It simply is not enough.  The money needs to come from somewhere.   When needed monetary donations do not come in, we are placed in a situation where we must use our personal funds.  When our personal funds are depleted as they are now…….then what?

We provide the communities in which we operate an extremely valuable service.  We need your help to continue this service. 

Help STA Fight Social decay.  Donate Today. 

Please Donate anything you can right now.  Please, even $1.00 will help as it all adds up together.  We are a 501c3 nonprofit and your donations are tax deductible under the full extent of the law.

**Mobile Crisis van update.  It is running and we are driving it, but the transmission still will not shift into high gear.  Still needing to replace the van as it has over 235,000 miles and is beginning to nickle and dime us.

We Thank You for taking the time today to read and visit our site.  We Thank You in advance for making a Monetary Donation today.

It couldn’t have been better.  It came at a much needed time.  The best call of my past 26 years of helping those in need.   The Best Phone Call Ever.

For the last 26 years, i have had this talent of seeming to be able to just be able to tell innately that those i have helped are “ok”.

Except for one.  There has been one on my mind since the day we met him back in 2008 in Knoxville, TN.  A United States of America Navy Veteran who has been without a place to call home for over 15 years, roaming the streets of Knoxville, TN. Yep, lots to his story.  The bottom line of his story though?  I care deeply for him as a person as i do most of those we help.  Yep, i said most.

Since September 19th, 2010 (which is happens to be my birthday) i have wondered if “James” was still alive.   Last year on September 19th, 2010, i flew from St. Petersburg, FL to Knoxville, TN to take care of some much needed things for our disabled friend DONNA in Oak Ridge, TN along with see some of the others we help in Knoxville.  ”James” is one of those.

James and i have been through a great deal together.  My former boss had allowed me the privilege to hire James at his company.  It provided James with a little money and me the extra one on one time i needed to try and influence James to Taking Back His Life.   After time i had to let James go from that company, but we left friends/aquaintences.  However, we still kept in contact with him, seeing him often in Knoxville.

The interaction with James was always intense.  He is a brilliant man with numerous talents.  He just had issues he needed to address and his and mine conversations addressed those issues on a number of occasions.

On one particular occasion, due to a confrontation James got into at a local business, was after i had dropped him off with his belongings in order for him to check into a motel.  I headed down Chapman Highway back towards Knoxville, but something told me to go back, something told me things were going to get ugly.  So, i pulled a u-turn and put the pedal to the floor heading back to the motel.  They were not going to rent to him.  Just as i had told him and he argued with me on.

With in seconds our Mobile crisis van was surrounded by 4 Sheriff Deputies.  James was inside.  Long long story short, the Sheriffs released James into my custody.  They were going to take him to jail.

Again, James is close to my heart and this did not faze me as to how i felt about his possible future success.  I would continue to try.

We rode together down Chapman Highway and i pulled into a Walmart parking lot.  James and i sat there and talked for hours.  James is a tough, tough individual.  It was intense, very intense.  James cried, he broke down and cried.  To me…that was a major success.  We were addressing very deep ugly issues within James. Things he feared and felt for years.  It was not fun and it was not pretty.  But it was.

Then, some months later, after not seeing James for some time, it was January.  January 16th, 2009.  Pat and i were leaving Knoxville, TN for Florida because we had lost our secular jobs, the very jobs which at the time funded our organization via our personal wages. Pat was being offered a position with her previous employer here in Largo, Fl.  We had to take it or lose everything we had.  We were in the Market Square Kitchen to say good bye to some of those in need we had helped.  It was emotional.  We did not want to move from Knoxville.  It would be tougher to continue our work there although we do to this very day, this exact moment.  As we arrived to meet our friends at the Market Square Kitchen, there sat James at an outside table, well dressed in his Penny Loafers as he likes to do, leather jacket and nice slacks and shirt.  Keep in mind he is what we as a society call homeless.  He is a USA Navy Veteran.  He had heard from another that we were moving and he could come there to see us off……if he wanted to.  Remember, our last talk was severely tough.  Severely painful for James.  However, evidently severely full of impact and meaning to him.  I could have only hoped and prayed for that, which i did.

As Pat and i were getting ready to leave, after we had said our good byes to everyone and we were in our Mobile Crisis van, i had to give James something out of the van and so he met me at the side door of the Market Square Kitchen.  As i handed James the item, he told me thanks for everything (tears now coming as i write this), “be careful” and hope to see you again soon…….then he floored me……………………………………..

He told me……………….”I Love You.  Thank You. Really.  I mean it”.

It took all i had to keep myself composed.  I told him, I love you too James.   I got into the van, waited for James to go out of site, turned to Patrica and fell apart.  Bawled my eyes out!  As Oprah puts it i did the “Ugly Cry”  :-))!

Back to September 19th, 2010.  So i had flown to Knoxville TN from St. Pete.  One of the things on my list was to find James and see how he was.  I found his “camp” in Knoxville where he slept at the time, but i could not find him.  I am excellent at finding people i am looking for.  I could not find James himself.  I left a note at his camp site on my business card which he is very familiar with.  I was in Knoxville for a few days.  Nothing, heard nothing from James.  I asked around at the other orgs in town but no one had seen him.  Most of that reason is James never liked to access the Assistance World all that much.  I never found him.  I looked for hours on two different days.  Nothing.  It started to settle in me that the worst had happened.  I could ALWAYS locate James, but not now.  All i could think was he was dead.

I was horrified, on 9/19/2010, my birthday.  Probably the worst birthday of my life.  I figured James was laying dead somewhere after being beaten or something and i simply couldn’t find him. I have beat the hell out of myself every single day since that 9/19/2010 day/week not being able to locate him.  I have asked people to look for me, put “feelers” out for him, continually emailed him hoping for a response, any response. I prayed and had conversation after conversation with Jesus right up to and including this very moment.  Patricia was back in St. Pete and i was in Knoxville trying to deal with all the ugliness there.

And then…………….THIS last Thursday….. JULY 14th, 2011.  I get an email saying……..CALL ME ASAP.  Easy work here.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAt????!!!!!!    You have to be kidding me!   Yep it was JAMES!  Alive and well!

I have to say it………….Thank You Jesus!  Now i know what You have been doing all this time.  Exactly what i asked for.  :-))!

I called James that evening at 7:00pm, 7/14/2011, approx a year and two months after i had been looking for him.  We spoke about his job there in Knoxville TN which he is very happy with.  Last time we seen James he was a dishwasher and not happy in 2009.  The time before that was our “ugly talk” James and i had in the Walmart parking lot after the Sheriffs had released him to me in 2008.

* James did not have a real job

*James did not have a car or any sort of transportation

*James felt his life would be hopeless

*James did not have a drivers license

*James, a Navy Vet should have been on disability but was not

* James did not have a home or any where to stay with friends.  He was without a roof over his head. Yep he was what society labels as homeless.

Then James explained to me:

** He enjoys his new, real job

** He now has a Mini Van of his own

** He now has his drivers license back

** He now has his own apartment with really nice furniture (as he doesn’t bring junk into his apt)

** He now has his disability which he worked to get on his own through a lawyer he obtained

** He now has money in the bank, which he is determined to hang onto.

******  He is indeed ALIVE!  He has done it through his own determination.

He listened, he heard, he hurt, he got mad and he did it!  He did it!

And that my friends……………..is………………The Best Phone Call Ever!

And that my friends is how it works.

Social Decay has ended, been defeated in this former Friend In Need in Knoxville, TN.  James is now as our Mission Statement says……”A Positive contributing Force”  in the Knoxville, TN Community once again.

James, succeeded in Taking Back His Life.

7/12/11

Hello everyone.  We are writing this blog today and will be emailing it out also.   We are asking you to simply Help Us Spread The Word Please.

Yesterday, our Mobile Crisis/Intervention Unit van began its further decent into non-existence.   It is a 1995 Chevrolet Cargo van with approx 235,000 miles on it.  It has been good to us.  It is actually Lance Greene & Pat Mishlers’ personal vehicle and only vehicle.   It gets used for all of STA’s Mobile Crisis activities.

Last week i repaired the water pump myself.  I installed new front brakes about 3 months ago.  We put new tires on it about 2 months ago.

Now, the transmission is not shifting into high gear.  If we continue to drive it, which we will, the van will be out of commission soon.  Very soon.  It also needs new U-Joints, a thermostat, rear brakes badly and a windshield wiper motor.   The most important being the transmission however.

That will mean, Straight Ahead Outreach (Taking Back Your Life) Inc. and its Mobile crisis/Intervention Unit will be out of commission other than what we do on the phones and computer to help our Friends In Need.

Our Mobile Crisis van is our 2nd most important tool.  Our phones are our most important.  We are contacted by agencies, other Friends In Need, and friends & relatives of people in need by phone or they see our van and approach us.  We then get to them in our Mobile Crisis Van.  We do not expect them to get to us as we are 100% Mobile.  We do not have a facility.

We either need help to get this van repaired or a replacement van.  We are a nonprofit.  We receive no federal funding and very little donations from the general public.   We work hard and make huge one on one impacts in those we help, our Friends In Need.

If you or anyone you may know wishes to Donate to this specific need, please,…. please email me at:  straightaheadlwg@gmail.com and advise me of that.  Or you may simply call me at: 865-964-1461.  Why?   Because if we do not raise enough to take care of the repairs, then we want to return the monies to you which you donated with the repairs in mind.  We/STA does not wish to keep funds which you gave for a specific purpose if we do not or are not able to carry out that specific situation.  What i mean here is, for example, if we get 50 people to give $20.00 that simply is not going to cover the costs.  So, we would not want to mislead those 50 people into giving $20.00 and then not be able to use it on the repairs.   Your Money is simply just too valuable these days for it not to be spent where it was intended.  We realize this and respect it.

The needed repairs would cost approx $4000.00

We could replace the van for approx  $11,000.00

We are asking you today to please simply pass this information on to as many people you can to Help Us Spread The Word.

Will you please pass this on now?  If you pass it on to 10 people and they do the same and so on, we are bound to come across someone who can help us with this urgent situation. 

Thank you for your time,

Lance Greene/Founder

If you choose, you may click here on the Donate button and Help via PayPal.  If we do not raise enough funds for the repairs or a replacement vehicle we will be happy to refund your donation.
