Eating Twinkies with God - A Modern Day Parable by Meir Kay
Filmmaker Meir Kay created a parable called Eating Twinkies with God, starring a young boy named John James Cronin. A Catholic school kindergartener and an Orthodox Jewish filmmaker. It's an unusual team, but one that has created a stir in the blogosphere.
In the film, the boy takes a package of Twinkies from his kitchen and heads out, as he explains to his mother, to find God. And then......
The moral of the story: We don't need to look for and wide for God. He's in every one of us and in every thing that we do. Whether you believe or not, we all can agree that by helping each other, each good act that we do makes this world a brighter place. Let us rise to the occasion and be kinder to each other, to help one another. We are all on the same team.
Fox 5's Dar Alexander spoke to the two of them about the meaning of this heart-warming short film.
Here's the short film, followed by the TV interview.
Enjoy!
