Tillatoba Baptist Church VBS started Sunday afternoon, July 12-15 starting at 6 PM. The title for this year’s VBS is Illumination Station.
Diane Dukes reported it might’ve been 28 to 30 present for the first night. Not as good as last year but everybody had a good time.
Those helping with VBS are Diane Dukes, Virginia Beavers , Terri Dukes, Sam Pullen, Lori McCollums, Diane Loftin, Bubba Howe and Mark Hartley. Mark does the popcorn and it’s delicious. Diane Dukes was slipping a few pieces of it while Terri wasn’t looking. (Diane is not supposed to be eating popcorn.) She said it smelled so good that she could not resist! And we all enjoyed it very much.
Diane said Brother Rickey preached a good sermon Sunday morning.
Debbie McCool reports keeping her son-in-law, Jason Beavers, busy this week. He pulled the carpet up in our living room and put down a wood floor. One more coat of varnish and we get to go home! It looks beautiful.
Freda Weir said they are just trying to stay cool. I’m afraid that’s not easy these days, Freda!
Martha Box said this daddgumm heat is absolutely axycray (crazy in pig Latin!)Bakersfield California 116 degrees in the shade was more tolerable than this week at Tillatoba Ms .
Princess Millie Kate, my new little great granddaughter, came by to see me Friday . As she was lying snug on Aunt Lillie’s shoulder, she heard GiGi’s voice. 1 week old and she raised her head and shoulders and looked about! Lol, we all almost jumped to attention, said Martha!
It was a great ride over to Pine Grove Church Sunday. Wonderful Word per Bro. Scarborough. God’s greatest creation among all His creations is the Way of Salvation for us all ,Jesus!

Thought for the day… I hate it when people ask me if I did anything exciting over the weekend. Like I’m over here skydiving…I’m old. I went to Walmart, did some laundry, ate too much food and took a nap.
