Speaking of Yodels, what follows is a true story that merges Yodels and the gospel of Jesus Christ that just came back to my remembrance.
Back around 1990 or 1991, I worked for a golf club manufacturer in New Jersey. The building consisted of a big warehouse where they assembled the golf clubs and an office area where I, some other customer service representatives, sales reps, and managers worked.
Well, I was friendly with several people in the warehouse, and we used to have lunch together while playing chess on our lunchbreaks. More on that in a moment.
First, I need to mention something about one of the sales reps, Joe Testa. Joe was a very friendly and personable guy, and I shared the gospel with him on a few different occasions. He was always polite in our discussions, and I used to kid him by saying:
There are apparently 3 testaments:
1. The Old Testament.
2. The New Testament.
3. The Joe Testa-ment.
Anyhow, one day as I was eating lunch and playing chess with some co-workers in the warehouse, Joe Testa walked in and stopped by. I had actually finished eating my lunch, and I was about to finish off my pack of Yodels which only had one Yodel remaining. Joe commented something like, "Wow. That Yodel looks really good", and I handed it to him. When I did, in all seriousness, he got all emotional, and I literally thought that he was going to cry. He then said something to me that I've never forgotten. He said, "Now I know that you're a Christian".
A simple act of giving him my last Yodel (I must admit that the last one is always the best one) touched his heart.
Hey, you never know what might reach someone and make them think.
That wasn't even my intention back then. I always share my things with others, but it shows me how impactful a simple act of kindness can be upon somebody else.
Anyhow, like I said, that just came back to my remembrance, so I thought that I'd share it.
Now, of course, I truly am craving Yodels. If you've never had one (I know that Gojira has), then you're missing out on one of life's greatest pleasures.
