Great-Grandma Ruth Jackman
Ashton's "Great" passed away this week from failing health, she will be dearly missed. She has left a wonderful legacy of service and love that all will remember. I learned so much about being Christ-like from her example and I hope Aaron and I can help carry her and grandpa Vern's example on to our children, after all it seems that service is what being a Jackman is all about.

101 Things in 1001 Days
I just recently came across this "mission" and I thought it would be fun to do:
The Mission:
Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.
Why 1001 Days?
Many people have created lists in the past - frequently simple goals such as New Year's resolutions. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organizing and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.
I have until August of 2010 to complete my list (I'm starting tomorrow b/c I thought Sunday would be a good day to write my entire list). I'll be posting my list here and updates on my progress... I've included the link to Day Zero on this blog if your interested in joining in on the project. The other websites are for ideas.
