70’s kid

You can call me by my middle name, “Sky” or just @mineopoly is fine. My mom and dad were hippies and I’m a 70’s kid who never grew up. TV shows, movies and music from my childhood had a lasting impact on my life so on Steemit I share some of the “groovy quotes” I remember and try to apply it to my daily life. My profile picture comes from the Charles Shulz character, “Woodstock!” As Jonnie Mitchel sang, “By the time we got to Woodstock we were a half a million strong.” Woodstock is the picture of Steemit in “song and celebration.” Jonnie Mitchel wrote, “I came upon a child of God. He was walking along the road. And I asked him, ‘Where are you going?’ …Back to the garden.” This was me and my life as a hipster hanging out at friends’ basements and making a lot of noise, jumping in a mosh pit and skating to be free. The problem was I couldn’t be free until I came to the truth that I am a child of God. That’s the second part of my blog here. I write a daily journal based on Bible passages (Ruth Journal Post). At first I was hesitant to publish this on Steemit but this Bible journal is a major part of me and may help others find their way through the Bible. The rest of my blog is groovy quotes I remember from my childhood. I like the Muppets, Star Wars (Yoda post) Peanuts (Lucy post) and there are some surprise guest appearances, whatever is in my mind. Once in a while I will give a quote from a cryptocurrency (Ripple Post) or from the Satoshi Nakamoto Institute (Satoshi Post). I often quote some groovy singers I am thinking about (Bob Marely Post) or a movie I remember (Bill Murray Post) or a celebrety (Oprah Post). Or sometimes I will write a post about a friend @d-pend I like on Steemit d-pend post. I am a teacher full time so some of my quotes will be about education in a groovy way (The wall post). I will try to stay out of politics so far all my politics posts bombed (politics post). And I do not want to post any Brady Bunch quotes although one or two might pop up.

Posting Groovy and Bible

I got into Steemit researching about mining altcoins in November. At the end of the article the writer confessed he had made more writing at Steemit than he ever made mining. He explained that posting on Steemit was like mining but instead of poof of work in hz it was proof of brain power. I liked this idea and noticed that the majority of posts in Steemit were well written and provide a variety of media including D-sound and D-tube. At first I thought writers in Steemit were only writing about cryptocurrency. But Steemians write not only cypto but so many topics and also share their hobbies and interests in art, music, poetry and some things I never heard of before. There is so much going on with Steemit to browse and enjoy but I will stick with posting two. First, groovy quotes and second my Bible journal.

Family

I moved from Chicago to Seoul Korea about twenty years ago and still live here in Seoul with my wife and two kids. My wife is lovely but can’t stand anything about crypto currency. Even the word “blockchain” makes her shiver. My kids are wonderful but they are on vacation and can get wild at times. Juggling my time with them and the blog is really challenging at times. My oldest son just started at Steemit and likes blogging about art projects he did and sometimes takes pictures of random things @artjohn. The youngest is super cute. I will let him tell his own story in the future. We struggled to have kids after marriage. The doctors said it was impossible but seven years later @artjohn was born. And three years after that his brother. Everything in its time. I learn to wait and to pray. This has been my attitude most of the time while blogging here so sometimes I missed the train and get a notice like, “We are all sold out!” It doesn’t matter. I can see a lot of opportunity through the strain crypto markets are in today. The important thing for me is to Steem on regardless. I plan to be a regular blogger in groovy quotes and Bible journal. My favorite Bible verse is John 12:24. Jesus spoke this to Greeks who were in Jerusalem for the festival. He said, “I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies it remains only a single seed, but if it dies it produces many seeds.” This verse keeps is a law of nature. The seed alone is just popcorn. But a seed that falls down from its high position to serve others sprouts into something new and bears fruit 100 times. This should be the law of nature working in the Steemit community. All colors, races and nations come together. We share our struggles, our hopes and our fears. We share a laugh and we share our inner heart. I am @mineopoly mining the heart and I will stay that way posting in philosophy and spirituality. 2018 will be a groovy year for all of us.
