A little boy, who was "very" much afraid of the dark, was told
by his mother 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?
