A LITTLE GIRL NAMED MOLLY woke up in the middle of the night scared by the flashes and noise of a thunderstorm. Her mother came in and comforted her, and then said, “Molly, you know God is with you in this storm.” Molly solemnly nodded her head in agreement. Later she woke up scared again, and called for her mother. After another good hug, her mother said, “Now Molly, you know what I said before is true, that God is with you in this storm.” And Molly said, “I know that, Mom, but right now I need God with skin on.”
