Joseph Smith was a searcher of truth who inspired thousands, founded Mormonism, and left a legacy that blessed many. Some may say that Joseph was a fraud or a fool. There are also many who believe he was called of God and a maurder. In truth, his life long mission was to search for and establish the truth that God revealed to him.

Katrina. Nagin’s interests seemed to lie with trying to get help to the people in need. Although there was very little he could do in the moment. He kept calling higher officials and saying, “We need help, we need troops, we need food, we need water” (Smith, 8:20). However it took time for people to get there due to the circumstances.

One report states that a lightning strike could have caused the fuel to catch on fire (“TWA Flight 800”).

on the master bedroom door with a clenched fist and teary eyes, shouting “DADDY! DADDY?” She locked the door. Thank God, Mrs. Smith locked the door. It was the smartest thing she could have possibly done; even in the midst of witnessing her husband commit suicide in front of her own two eyes.
