Easter Sunday

I call my blog, Jon Bates: The Adventures...but sometimes I wonder why. I lead a pretty boring life. I love my job, it provides just about the only excitement in my life. The people I work with are absolutely hilarious. Some of the conversations we have are ridiculous, and politically incorrect.

Today, on Easter Sunday, I feel I should write about the love of Jesus Christ, and about the unthinkable gift He gave us by dying on the cross for each one of us. I, along with many many people across the world, cannot grasp the significance of this act. Without God giving Jesus to the cross, we would not be anything but doomed for hell, for we are imperfect creatures.

I miss my family sometimes. Especially on days that the entire family spends together, like Easter or Christmas. I had to work all day today, but my mind was with my family and my amazing girlfriend and her family. I spent the last 3-4 major holidays up in Titusville, FL with her and her family.

I am so thankful to have 2 different families to spend holidays with, that actually want me there. It's unreal. Last year at this time, I was in drug rehab. This year, I have over a year clean and sober, a fantastic relationship with my parents, I live in a house, work full time to pay for my own bills, and a PERFECT woman that makes me feel like a real good man.

Can life get much better?
