Iowa, Here I Come!

Joe Paprocki Miscellaneous

I’m off to Peosta, Iowa, to meet with about 200 catechists from the Dubuque archdiocese! I look forward to talking with them about catechetical skills and strategies from The Catechist’s Toolbox. I’m glad I have a session of religious education under my belt so that I have some fresh experiences to draw on.

While there, I plan to visit the “Field of Dreams”….the baseball field built in the middle of a corn field for the movie Field of Dreams. I guess it’s only 15-20 minutes away from where I’ll be. Great movie!

“Is this heaven?”  “No…it’s Iowa.”   (rent the movie to see what I’m talking about)

  1. Joe, I once dated a guy who was from Iowa…he said the stars shine brighter and the water runs cleaner….all I knew was that it was much colder than Oklahoma! Have a great time!

  2. Shelly, the stars were indeed brighter and the water was clean. As for it being colder, I suppose that’s true in winter but it was a beautiful warm day for my visit. See my 9/13 post. I had a great time!
