Mike Lambrix, from death row in Florida: "Life is about choices and our choices define not only who we are, but who we become"
July 13, 2017
Read this article from Mike Lambrix currently on death row in Florida, and learn about his journey through
life, and his testimony that may help others in their own journey:
"Too
often I find myself asking that man in the mirror how it is that this
has become my so-called "life" and in search of that ever-elusive answer
I think back upon the journey that led me to where I am today"

In
his testimony, Mike Lambrix reflects on how his life was drawn into a
"black hole" -- In physics, "black holes" are caused "when a massive
star explodes with such a force that it rips the fabric of space,
creating a hole not unlike what would occur if you could create a hole
on the ocean floor so massive that it would drain the water, (...)
pulling everything into it". -- an event called in physics " The Event
Horizon".
Mike
then recounts his life from childhood. Whilst many would perceive his
childhood and his later adult life as extremely hard, full of black
holes that somehow make him a kind of survivor, Mike Lambrix himself
does not dwell on this. Rather he states:
"An
expert in my case said I never had a chance, that the trajectory of my
life was all but predetermined by the environment I was brought in and
the trauma that I encountered along the way. But I don't believe that."
