OCD Goals

I went to bed at 10:15pm-very nice. I got up at 6am  BUT my body wanted MORE sleep AND my zumba intentions remained intentions.
My "healthy" breakfast was actually oreos and milk.
Sooo bad start to my OCD lifestyle change.
Yesterday I read Ammon again in Sunday school. I've read his story a million times but this time I was struck by how immediate his ability to recognize an opportunity was. I guess he was focused on spreading the gospel so much that he saw everything in those terms. The men who are tending the sheep begin to weep when outsiders scatter the sheep. They weep and are terrified because they know they will be put to death for losing the sheep. I was a little annoyed by this description. Seriously? The servants just sit there crying about how they will eventually lose their lives. Ammon gets them to help gather the sheep and actually try to figure out a way to keep the sheep together. If my life depended on something I wouldn't just sit there crying. What does Ammon do? He is happy and excited because it  means he can manifest the power of God. He is excited because the servants will see this and want to learn more. Wow!!! That wouldn't be my immediate thought although I'm glad it was Ammon's. Ammon is probably the greatest missionary EVER. I read this so much on my mission. I only read it again because no one wanted to yesterday.
