A little boy was afraid of the dark. One night his mother asked him to go out to the back porch and get the broom for her.
"Mommy, I don't want to go out there. It's too dark," he said.
"There's no reason to be afraid of the dark," his mother said reassuringly. "Jesus is out there. He'll watch over you and protect you."
The little boy looked at his mother with a very serious expression and asked, "Are you sure he's out there mommy?"
"Yes, I'm sure," replied his mother. "Jesus is everywhere. He's always ready to help you when you need him."
The little boy thought about it for a moment, went to the back door and opened it a crack. Peering out into the still darkness, he whispered, "Psssst, Jesus? If you're out there, could you pass me the broom?"
