Lizards and Snakes Alive... blah!

I just took my sons to the San Diego Natural History Museum to see there exhibit, Lizards and Snakes Alive... I have to honestly say that it was definitely worth the FREE Resident admission but not worth the drive.  While my 3 year old loved every minute of it... I could have just as easily took him to our local reptile store and had just as much fun.  If you are planning a trip to Balboa Park make sure you hit up the other museums while you are there.

Rueben H. Fleet's Kid City was a great time and they even have an area that my little 13 month old could safely crawl around.  We had tons of fun and will definitely be heading back.

How Good is Good Enough?

Being a new believer in Christ myself I found this book to be a huge help in understanding where my mind was all the years I did not believe.  I think that something needs to happen in your life in order to find your way to Christianity but this book serves as a start.

When you actually stop to think about the idea that many of us have, "Good People Go to Heaven", it sounds great on the surface.  But it really is not a guaranteed mind set in order to get into heaven.  Andy Stanley helps guide the non-believer or the new believer alike.

I found this book to be a nice, quick read and a great introduction into the beliefs of my new found religion.  Looking back on my life I always said that I live my life as a good person and that should be enough.  He outlines the problems with this view and how you can honestly analyze why it isn't the way into heaven.

If you are searching or have found Christ I recommend this book if nothing to more solidify your choice but also as a great way to talk to people about Christianity.  This is a nice book to give to your non-believing friends and family and a great way to get them thinking.
