A Good Life
Mark Lambert, Lee Kennedy


Verse I
Seems another year’s coming to an end
And I find myself taking stock
Of how my life has been 


From my battles fought
I gladly paid the price


All I’ve got to say


It’s a good life!


Chorus I
I’ve traveled to many places 
I thought I’d never see
Cared for my loved ones
And they’ve cared for me
 
Helped a needy neighbor  
That filled me with pride
And I held a precious baby 
To my chest, it made me cry


Know what I call that?


A Good Life!


A Good Life!


Verse II
Sipping my scotch, as stars light up the sky
And I can’t think of much life
That has ever passed me by


Some have told me
You’ve made a huge sacrifice


All I’ve got to say


It’s a good life!


Chorus II
I‘ve brought out the gifts
That live inside of me
Pushed my life to the edge
Sometimes foolishly
 
Heard my children laugh 
From deep inside their soul
Watched their eyes light up
As adventures would unfold


Know what I call that?


 A Good Life!


A Good Life!


Bridge
Sometime life shows 
How I’ve handled all my trials
Taps me on the shoulder
And brings out my smile


Chorus I
I’ve traveled to many places 
I thought I’d never see
Cared for my loved ones
And they’ve cared for me
 
Helped a needy neighbor  
That filled me with pride
And I held a precious baby 
To my chest, it made me cry


Know what I call that?


A Good Life!


A Good Life!




A Good Life!

Philippians 4:11-13

"The Secret To Contentment" by Brother Carl Schneider

The eighth commandment given to the people in Exodus: 'You shall not steal.’ In this week’s message, Clint shows us how the eighth commandment goes beyond simple theft, urging us to consider how we might be 'stealing' through wrong keeping - holding onto excess while others are in need. By examining Exodus 20:15 and Ephesians 4:28, we're invited to view our possessions as gifts from God meant for stewardship, not ownership. This perspective shift can radically transform our approach to generosity. As we contemplate Christ's ultimate act of generosity on the cross, we're encouraged to let His sacrificial love melt our hearts, freeing us from the grip of materialism and inspiring us to give freely. This message invites us to examine our hearts, our budgets, and our priorities, asking whether they truly reflect the generous spirit of Christ.

The better way of Love is impossible to do in our own strength, but must be done connected in Christ.

! Corinthians 13

In this final exploration of the Tenth Commandment, we delve into the heart of human desire and its complex relationship with our faith. Gayle Parker challenges us to confront our tendency to covet, reminding us that while desire itself is a God-given gift, it can easily become misdirected. By examining the story of Eve in the Garden of Eden and King David's fall, we see how unchecked desire can lead to a cascade of sin. However, the message isn't about suppressing our longings, but rather redirecting them towards their true source - God Himself. We're encouraged to find contentment not in material possessions or others' circumstances, but in recognizing that God's desire is for us. This shift in perspective can transform our understanding of joy and fulfillment, leading us to a deeper, more satisfying relationship with our Creator.

A heartfelt country ode to the simple life, Plowboy Mansion celebrates the riches of a hard-earned home over fame and fortune. Set to a warm, twangy acoustic melody, the song contrasts a celebrity’s lonely mansion with the narrator’s cherished three-bed, two-bath haven on seven scenic acres. With vivid imagery of Skoal cans, six-packs, bird dogs, and the love of “just one bunny,” this track captures the joy of family, land, and living true. Perfect for fans of authentic country storytelling and those who know the good life doesn’t need a Beverly Hills address. #Country #SimpleLife #PlowboyMansion



The Plowboy Mansion

In our exploration of Ecclesiastes 2, we confront the futility of pursuing happiness and pleasure for their own sake. The Teacher's experiment with wealth, power, and indulgence reveals a profound truth: nothing 'under the sun' can truly satisfy the human soul. This passage challenges us to examine our own pursuits and ask whether we're chasing after vapor. Are we, like the Teacher, trying to fill an eternal void with temporal pleasures? The message reminds us that our hearts are restless until they find rest in God. It's a call to shift our focus from fleeting earthly delights to the enduring love of our Creator. As we reflect on this, we're invited to receive life as a gift from God, finding meaning not in grand achievements, but in the simple, present moments that point us to His love. This perspective can transform how we approach our daily lives, work, and relationships, allowing us to live with gratitude and contentment in God's presence.
