[StBernard] Gutting List

[Westley Annis]

Jerry, I agree with you.  The parish should have a point of contact whereby
the people who signed up for free gutting to see approx. where they are on
the list.  That would help in the decision making process.  If you know you
won't remotely be included, then it gives you more info in your
decision-making process.

	-----------------------------------------------------
	
	Although you helped explain UnIQue_ID (no-IQ-inda-Que-ID's),
	
	..there is no determination yet for WHERE THEY ARE on the list of
thousands.
	This is crucial to existing gutting recipients and we'd like to know
at what
	point the gutting list has reached. Knowing this would help
establish order
	to us and whether we'll get left out or not. Setting a deadline is
also
	sending a clear message to God's helpers by saying after our one
year of
	misery, we set a deadline, so "thanks, but no thanks beyond August
29th!! We
	won't need your help after this dateline. I particularly do not like
setting
	a date to end solely on the idiosyncrasy-methodology that one year
is a good
	bet for reorganization.
	
	Pay mind, leaders: We're STILL awaiting our last hope for recovery
from the
	Road Home Project. Wait until we're salvaged emotionally and
financially
	instead of exascerbating our future recovery big-time. Patience is
indeed a
	virtue in this case as this is not a run-of-da-mill disaster that
can
	magically set us straight within one year. We need time to heal.
August 29th
	is not a good date if the year was 2007 or 2008 either, but we're
hoping
	that with a hand-up in the state's program, we can get the help we
needed
	locally but couldn't because of the nature of total devastation.
	
	--Help us O'Lord for these thy gifts, which we are about to receive
from thy
	bounty..Amen.
