Hey, I’m Chris!
I love my wife and 5 kids, my consulting opportunities, and my life in general. I love to solve problems and usually like to find ways to do it with Technology. My hobbies include programming and learning about self development (and attempting to improve myself every day). Because lifestyle design is a passion of mine I also love to help other people unlock their true potential. If you are interested in what I am working on right now, you can see it on my Now page.
My small business consulting & web design company is Polished Stone, LLC.
Hey Friend! Welcome to my ramblings.

In my last post I explored giving and receiving and it lead me to the question of “how much is my work worth?” I ended the post with the comment “don’t rob from yourself” and the gist of the previous post is to not seek for money. What does God have to say about this?…

(This is a series of posts exploring my goals and direction for life…) I am a religious person and when I think about money, quotes like “ For the love of money is the root of all evil” (1 Tim. 6:10) and that makes me think I shouldn’t seek after it. Then, in Acts 20:35 Jesus…

(This is a series of posts exploring my goals and direction for life…) In my last post, I came to the conclusion that in the first job I ever did for money, I undervalued the service I was giving. Where has this led me? Value of hard work I love to work hard. I love…

(This is a series of posts exploring my goals and direction for life…) In my last post I came to realize that a lot of my problems with work outside of my job (although I wager it plays a role there too) is that when I create something, I don’t like to sell it OR…

(Random thoughts as I try to figure out where I am heading and what I’m supposed to really do with my life.) I think there is a book on that topic. In fact, I’ve probably read (or listened to) it. That being said, I’ve been contemplating this for a while. I read a lot (and…
