A 4-year-old to her mother: "Mom, do you believe in God?" "I'm not sure if I do." "Well, does Daddy believe in God?" "No, Daddy does not believe in God." "Not even at night?" * Even at the tender age of 4, we all know there is something very different about the night. It has something to do with the settling darkness. But there is more to it. For many people, problems--both physical and emotional--seem worse at night.
