Dear Friends, Loved Ones and Everybody Else: I wanted to keep you all informed about some exciting developments at marklamberti.com. First of all, I totally overhauled my blog/website and fully integrated the whole thing to make it an official blebsite. It is, by far, the best my blebsite has ever […]
When I was younger, I always wanted a black computer. I wasn’t so much concerned about how it ran, I just wanted it to look cool. Over the years, my dream of owning a black computer gradually became a reality. Still, there was always something missing. I might have a […]
As we looked for our seats, we walked past a lot of pictures. There were the legends that I had never seen play – one of whom was a man I had just run into in the bathroom. I pointed him out to my Dad. “It was a pleasure watching […]
I went jogging the other day in the town I grew up in. After climbing a steep hill for about a mile, I enjoyed coasting down toward the finish. As I approached a certain spot, I was curious to see what I might find there. I figured the bag of […]
Let’s suppose an alternate ending to Susan Boyle’s performance. What if she got up there and was absolutely terrible? In my mind, the problem persists. There is still a valuation of worth based on gifting. I remember winning the superlative “Tallest” in High School. Don’t get me wrong, I thought […]

I remember times when we would get back so late at night. Our relatives lived pretty far away and we would pull into the driveway at an hour us kids weren’t used to seeing. And, some of us never did see those hours. Those who were able slept in the […]
The Courage of Detroit Lamentations The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. – Lamentations 3:25-26

But I’m here to say to you this morning that some things are right and some things are wrong. Eternally so, absolutely so. It’s wrong to hate. It always has been wrong and it always will be wrong. It’s wrong in America, it’s wrong in Germany, it’s wrong in Russia, it’s wrong in China. It was wrong in 2000 B.C., and it’s wrong in 1954 A.D. It always has been wrong, (That’s right!) and it always will be wrong. (That’s right!) It’s wrong to throw our lives away in riotous living. No matter if everybody in Detroit is doing it, it’s wrong. It always will be wrong, and it always has been wrong. It’s wrong in every age, and it’s wrong in every nation. Some things are right, and some things are wrong, no matter if everybody is doing the contrary. Some things in this universe are absolute. The God of the universe has made it so. And so long as we adopt this relative attitude toward right and wrong, we’re revolting against the very laws of God himself.
– Martin Luther King, Jr.
