Christian Band from a recent "block party" at the Alpha House Transitional Home
This band is a special story of healing from addiction.
A post on fix-up efforts at Alpha House will be written and illustrated fully with photos. If you have a heart for helping others through personal or organizational efforts, you will need to read this story. The author and photographer has promised to do his very best on this one, using the fix-up day to tell the story of the organization and the needs they must regularly meet to stay operational.. What a way to put myself on the spot!
The event is Saturday, June 30, 2012, a day for volunteers and residents to fix-up, paint, landscape, shine and repair the home occupied by the Alpha House organization and ladies in transition.

Fun at the party at Alpha House.
Find it here: Alpha House This is a transitional home for women who are recently out of incarceration. If you are not sure what that means, they are now freed from jail and are trying their best to make a transition to a normal and straight life. Hear a testimonial and you will quickly realize the transition for most is a daunting task and often more difficult once they are back fully in society. Will the old "friends", and for some their own dysfunctional families pull them right back down that hill? These girls pray for endurance and strength. Alpha House is God based, Faith based, Jesus Christ based. The strength of faith and prayer has been proven in these women. It works. Yes, some do not do well after a time facing life all over again, a new way of life. Those who share faith with them and close support may be far away. These ladies may face ridicule and temptations alone. Believe me, they will give it all they have to stay well and faithful to their God and to the new life they intend to accomplish. When this story is written about "one day of volunteer work" at the Alpha House home, I believe it is to be read and shared. Remember, the author and photographer promised me his best.
Breaking News--December 19, 2012: Due to a dire shortage of funding through October of 2012, Alpha House was forced to close. With renewed efforts to streamline the money flow and start in a new location, the announcement was made that a small house was found in Oliver Springs, Tennessee. This will be able to take in four women for the program. Hopes are to continue at the new location and from this now smaller new beginning to reach up to God and renewed effort to grow in to again a larger facility. Determination and prayer is at work here. One woman remains in the program and is housed in specially provided location so she may complete the program soon. We pray for income to sustain the Alpha House program and wise decisions by all involved.
