In the 1st Century, Mustard wasn’t in people’s
gardens, it was on hillsides and abandoned gardens, therefore, Jesus is comparing
God’s Kingdom to an annoying weed like crabgrass or dandelions. It takes over everything and is
uncontrollable. It changes what is
comfortable into unfamiliar.
Perhaps this is good, it offers hope that the racism and
bigotry of the present will be uprooted and destroyed by God’s Kingdom coming. “Hope is the only thing more powerful than
fear”-The Hunger Games villains, attempting to use hope to control the masses. John Lewis was like the Mustard Seed,
standing up to racism his entire life, without violence, inspiring others to
stand up.
Edelgard reminds me of the Mustard Seed, she could’ve sunk
into despair, but dared to act on her firm desire that no one have to go
through torture to create a “perfect ruler.”
She ended the unjust society and rule that placed such value on crests,
a noble inheritance that separated the nobility from the commoner, the rich and
inherited rulers from the ones less fortunate, fought and slew a dragon who had
created and maintained this society for 1,200 years with her professor Byleth at
Edelgard’s side, and in the aftermath of the battle, with Annette, Catherine
and Gilbert never even getting close enough to enter the conflict. Due to Annette’s song in the Blue Lions’ portion
of the game (which is why I will try to recruit her if I play this again), I’d
like to think she decided to lay down her weapons and as such, just took some
time off to learn the new, more free ways of Adrestia before starting a bakery
and meats shop.
This is the song: ♪ Today's dinner is
steak and then a cake that's yummy yum... Now it's time to fill my tummy
tummy tum... ♪ ♪ Oh, this mountain of sweets, and treats that I long to
eats... Oh, stacks of steaks and cakes and crumbs and yums... ♪
Here are some music releases from the last two weeks that I
enjoyed; The Dead Daisies EP was fun and the live version of “Fortunate Son”
was actually an unreleased recording from when John Corabi was still the lead
singer, so prior to last October. Paul
McCartney also released four tracks related to the song “Beautiful Night” from
his forthcoming “Flaming Pie” deluxe edition.
“Beautiful Night” is my favorite track from that album as Ringo Starr
plays the drums and sings on the last chorus.
Metallica also announced a new live album with the San Francisco
Symphony, releasing a live version of “Nothing Else Matters” as a single, which
was another good release.
A power trio supergroup called Morse/Portnoy/George released
a trio of cover albums called Cover to Cover, Cover 2 Cover and Cov3r to Cov3r,
which featured great renditions of Cream’s “Badge,” George Harrison’s “What is
Life” and Ringo Starr’s “It Don’t Come Easy.”
Chris Cornell’s estate released a recording of him covering Guns N Roses’
acoustic song “Patience,” and Noah Cyrus and Whethan with K.Flay also released
good pop singles. There was also a good
Pop song by Bainbridge Island native Dove Cameron, I didn’t know that’s where
she was from until the All In WA COVID-19/BLM event last month with
performances by The Black Tones, Sleater-Kinney, Brandi Carlile and Pearl Jam.
