Tillatoba News

How about this weather? The doctor says be sure you get out and walk at least 20 minutes a day. I can’t stand up against the wind long enough to walk period!
I’m glad I wasn’t out walking Monday morning when we had a sudden downpour.
Christian love and sympathy to the Paul Tillman family of Las Vegas. Paul lived in Tillatoba at one time and attended Oakland school, where he was loved by all. Paul had a winning personality and loved playing football. Paul leaves a sister, Clydie Ruth Williamson (Jerry) of Georgia, and a brother, Les Tillman ( Debbie) of Coffeeville. I am so glad that Clydie and Les made a trip out to visit with Paul recently. Les said it was a wonderful visit.
Love and sympathy to the Bettye Smith family of Cascilla. Bettye passed away early Sunday morning, January 15. An obituary will follow in this week’s paper. Greg Lukacs, David and I send our love to you and the family.
Sadie Harper said, “I really didn’t know what to expect with hip replacement surgery. I know my age has something to do with it, but I’m not bouncing back like I’ve done with other surgeries or I’m expecting too much. I don’t like to be confined. This will be the last replacement surgery for me!” Sadie when you do start feeling better, you will be so happy you had it done. At least that’s what they say.
Frank Manzo is doing a lot better. He will need a broken leg fixed and rehab for several weeks. God was truly watching over him.
Please pray for Keith Beck, who is fighting pneumonia for the second time in six months. His mother, Darlene Morman, said he is really having a hard time and they will appreciate all prayers.

All the children enjoyed the sweets that were offered and the jumpy house along with the playground at George Cossar State Park.
Martha Box had a great time at her granddaughter, Marnie Box’s, 16th birthday supper at Carmella’s in Grenada Saturday night. While there she ran into two retired nurses from Greenville hospital, where she started working. She danced a few steps with friends before the night was over. Martha never ceases to amaze me with all her blowing and going! Energy-plus, this lady has.
Sunday was a blessed day for Martha. Sunshine and great, free-flowing spirit everywhere. Rev. Billy Jowers, accompanied by his lovely, sweet wife, from Pascagoula preached at Bro Tommy Darby’s Church for a revival. Wow what a message, Martha reported.
“Led by the Holy Spirit the music, the message and the love were so present! So filled our souls,” Martha shared.
After services, she met her sister, Joyce Stevens, at Enid Catfish Hut for lunch.
Happy birthday to Jimmy Dees and Reid Grant on the 16th; to Bobby Cook and Winky Chambers on the 20th; J. A. Hoop celebrates the 21st; Patsie Tillman on the 26th; and Lisa Griffis and Lexiray Regan share a birthday on the 28th. May you all have a blessed day.
Thought for the day….. To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was YOU!
