C.H. Spurgeon's Evening Devotional

"Lo, in the midst of the throne . . . stood a Lamb as it had been slain."-Revelation 5:6
    
    Why should our exalted Lord appear in His wounds in glory? The wounds of Jesus are His glories, His jewels, His sacred ornaments. To the eye of the believer, Jesus is passing fair because He is "white and ruddy" white with innocence, and ruddy with His own blood. We see Him as the lily of matchless purity, and as the rose crimsoned with His own gore. Christ is lovely upon Olivet and Tabor, and by the sea, but oh! there never was such a matchless Christ as He that did hang upon the cross. There we beheld all His beauties in perfection, all His attributes developed, all His love drawn out, all His character expressed. Beloved, the wounds of Jesus are far more fair in our eyes than all the splendour and pomp of kings. The thorny crown is more than an imperial diadem. It is true that He bears not now the sceptre of reed, but there was a glory in it that never flashed from sceptre of gold. Jesus wears the appearance of a slain Lamb as His court dress in which He wooed our souls, and redeemed them by His complete atonement. Nor are these only the ornaments of Christ: they are the trophies of His love and of His victory. He has divided the spoil with the strong. He has redeemed for Himself a great multitude whom no man can number, and these scars are the memorials of the fight. Ah! if Christ thus loves to retain the thought of His sufferings for His people, how precious should his wounds be to us!
    
    "Behold how every wound of His
    A precious balm distils,
    Which heals the scars that sin had made,
    And cures all mortal ills.
    
    "Those wounds are mouths that preach His grace;
    The ensigns of His love;
    The seals of our expected bliss
    In paradise above."

Pirate's Code: The Adventures of Micky Matson with Giveaway

http://mickeymatson.com/

In this follow up to Mickey Matson and the Copperhead Treasure, Mickey Matson is at it again; this time pitted against the evil Admiral Ironsides and his gang of pirates who are intent on destroying civilization.  They're new invetnion, the Tesla Coil, is a weapon of mass destruction that will send an electromagnetic pulse throughout the world, destroying every electronic device in existence.  With the help of a secret organization, Mickey and his best friend Sully embark on a mission to stop the pirates from taking over a submarine and stealing the last part needed to complete their devastating weapon.  If Admiral Ironsides succeeds in his plan, civilization will be sent back to the Stone Age.  It's a race against time, and the fate of the world hangs in the balance. 
Pirate's Code is a sequel movie.  Yes there are references to the previous movie, but it isn't anything that will hurt watching the movies out of order.  Pirate's Code is definitely a family movie.  Kids will love the amusing antics in the movie.  It is geared right to kids in every way.  Nothing too scary maybe some pirate fighting, but the language is kid friendly.  The whole family will enjoy this fun pirate movie.  Excellent movie.
