The VHS Strikes Back

The show where we dust off the old video player, and go on a journey to look at the good and bad movies of yesteryear

This week we have the second of our Sylvestor Stallone double bill. Last week we had Cobra (1986) and this week we have Rocky V from 1990!! This one is probably not the favourite in the franchise of many people, other than Chris. As well as the Italian Stallion, this one stars the usual entourage of Talia Shire (Adrian!), Burt Young and Burgess Meredith. As well as real- boxer Tommy "The Duke" Morrison.

Alyson Shelton

Where I'm From

Where I'm From is a weekly Instagram Live show hosted by Alyson Shelton (that also posts to YouTube) where a guest shares their take on George Ella Lyon's Where I'm From poem and then Alyson and the guest chat for a bit about their writing experience and life. It's a weekly appointment for meaningful conversation and poetry. 

This week for episode #65 I spoke with Kimberly-Knowle Zeller pastor, mother and author of the forthcoming book, The Beauty of Motherhood: Grace-Filled Devotions for the Early Years. Listen here to her contemplative poem and our conversation about how to bring grace into our lives and relationships and our mutual love of Barbies!
