I grew up in a neighborhood where everybody knew everybody, and genuinely cared about each other. We knew every tree that was good for climbing, every shortcut, every yard that had a fence, every bike trail and hill, every dog that would bite, and who gave out bubble gum instead of apples at Halloween.

It was also special because of the people who lived there. We knew who had kids our age, who didn’t like kids our age, and who wouldn’t mind when we’d sneak a drink of water out of their garden hose on a hot summer day. It was a great place to grow up.

Our neighbors on either side of my home were special friends. One was an older gentleman who restored antiques. He taught me a lot about woodworking, tools, and craftmanship. On the other side was a family whose father worked for an automotive parts distributor. I remember, he always bought a new car every year and was on the road Monday through Thursday, usually getting home late that evening. Sometimes I’d see him and ask him if he ever got tired of driving so much and being away. He’d always smile and give me his pat answer, “I never have, and I never will.” Then he’d rub me on the head and go inside.

I’ve often thought about his statement and wonder if he ever DID grow weary and tired of the travel and loneliness of the road. Like they say, “Never say, ‘Never.’”

Well, on today’s podcast, we’ll look at God and His power and promises that make that statement true and without any doubt. Stay with me, as we hear God tell each of us: I Never Have, and I Never Will! That’s coming up on this episode of Living Lite Today.
