A little boy was afraid of the dark. One night his mother told him to go out
to the back porch and bring her the broom.
 
The little boy turned to his mother and said, "Mama, I don't want to go out
there. It's dark."
 
The mother smiled reassuringly at her son. "You don't have to be afraid of
the dark," she explained. "Jesus is out there. He'll look after you and
protect you."
 
The little boy looked at his mother real hard and asked, "Are you sure he's
out there?"
 
"Yes, I'm sure. He is everywhere, and he is always ready to  help you when
you need him," she said.
 
The little boy thought about that for a minute and then went to the back
door and cracked it a little. Peering out into  the darkness, he called,
"Jesus? If you're out there, would you please hand me the broom?"
