Desire - Dallin H. Oaks
How to review a General Conference talk? Well this talk gives itself well to some questions that may help someone or a family ponder and consider the counsel and ideas Elder Oaks lays out. After all, we are to "search the scriptures" and for today's world this qualifies. All who read this Blog have easy access to the scriptures and the talks so do your best.

Good approach to the remarks made by Elder Oaks.

Loved his stories to put across his points in his talk.
Repent, bow down before God in Faith, believe that you will receive.
During his talk I remembered my favorite picture that hung on my bedroom wall as a child. A picture of the Savior knocking at a closed door. It wasn't until later in life that I learned the significance of there being no door knob on the outside of the door where he was knocking. I learned that he won't force himself on anybody but waits for us to humble ourselves and invite him in.
