A Lenten Lutheran Story Each Friday night after work, Ole would fire up his outdoor grill on the shore of Hot Carl Lake and cook a venison steak. But, all of Oles neighbors were Catholic... And since it was Lent, they were forbidden from eating meat on Friday. . The delicious aroma from the grilled venison steaks wafted over Pine Island all the way to Chatfield and Eyota , and was causing such a problem for the Catholic faithful that they finally talked to their priest. After the Priest came to visit Ole, and suggested that he become a Catholic, several classes and much study, Ole attended Mass.....and as the priest sprinkled holy water over him, he said, You were born a Lutheran, and raised a Lutheran, but now you are a Catholic. Oles neighbors were relieved, until Friday night arrived, and the wonderful aroma of grilled venison filled the neighborhood. The Priest was called immediately by the neighbors, and, as he rushed into Oles yard, clutching a rosary and prepared to scold him, he stopped and watched in amazement. There stood Ole, clutching a small bottle of holy water which he carefully sprinkled over the grilling meat and chanted: You vuz born a deer, you vuz raised a deer, but now you is a walleye. Amen. :)
