So it was advised to me that I should make a post like this, so here it goes. I joined here pretty recently and this is pretty much a first for me in a lot of things. I never really got into social media much and I missed out on mining Bitcoin when it first came out because I could not get reliable internet so I just quit trying. (huge mistake there) However, I can finally see that things are changing in this world again and I want to take advantage of it. I've lost out on many fortunes in my life because I did not act on the information that was presented to me but maybe I will make the right choice next time.
My name is Chris and I am Christian and 45 years old. (I feel much older now) Politically I am a Conservative Libertarian with some Anarchic leanings. Jesus came to set man free! Who am I to try and imprison them? I have a wife of 28 yrs with three children and currently four grandchildren. My youngest child just got his two year degree in general education and is a decathlete and football player. (We will see where that takes him.) By far the best choice that I have ever made is to ask Jesus to be my Lord and accept for Him to be my Savior! I believe that there is a peace and a freedom that is known only by those who have chosen to do the same. I will not push my faith and beliefs on you so please allow me the same courtesy with whatever you believe or do not believe. When I am at my best, I will advocate for peace and love in all my endeavors. I love you because you are alive and sharing this earth with me. All I ask is that you please do the same. I am as close to a pacifist as you can get now a days I guess...
The second best choice I have made in my life is to marry my wife! We have had our ups and downs like everyone else and much more than some others but she is by far the best thing to happen to me under Jesus. I hope and pray every day that she still feels the same. She already had our oldest child (our daughter) in school when I met her and she gave me two wonderful boys to help raise and it has been one heck of a ride to this point. As I said above, we have been at it for almost three decades so if any of you want to know about being a husband and/or a father I am your man.
In my first forty five years on this earth, I have been everything from a general construction laborer, a logger, and a machinist to a professional sales associate for a fortune 500 company, a supervisor, and even a graphic artist for a time. (Just some of the things I have done.) I have never been fired before so I guess I was adequate enough at all of them. Basically, I have done whatever it takes to get to the point that I am at in life. Ever heard the term "Jack of all trades and master of none"? That probably describes me very well. I guess I am still looking for the thing that interest me enough to stay with it. Maybe it will be blogging or maybe blogging will be the first thing that I fail at. Only time will tell I guess but as they say "you never really know until you try".
Hopefully I have given you enough info to let you know a little bit about me. I never really have liked or been good at talking about myself. Most of all, I believe the world is filled with too much hate and division. Hopefully I can do my part and be the change that I would like to see going forward! Be blessed..
Chris..
