Lady Book Notes - MEB Jones
I didn't spend much time with these notes, but once again, I had to make copies because THEY ARE SO OLD! c. 1910
I titled them Lady Book because of the logo on the cover.

MEB Jones Random Notes
Page 4 (back)
Difference between sin and crime. God can not punish Sin in this life. Judgment
falls upon all alike. These are not punishment. Sin cannot be judged at Death
because there is no judge. Guide? and witness are both necessary to a fair
trial. Cannot be at death because we are to live on.

Unbelief, the great obstruction to Christ's
work. 2 All things in general are possible to God. But it is to him that
believes as to particulars ??? I

Coo Coo Ca Choo
Wild About Texas: Mourning Dove
There are things that stir your memory. Sometimes it’s a song, a place, or a special recipe, but for some reason, you are transported back into your past evoking strong feelings. I’m very much a nature person, and yesterday my memory was stirred by a sound…the sound a dove makes. I would call Mother every Sunday and she would often have her house open or even talk on her remote phone from her porch. She lived on a street named Mourning Dove, and the Mulberry trees in her backyard were often filled with dove. They would coo and coo, and I could hear them when I visited with her both, both when I visited her home in Abilene or visiting with her on the phone.
I had sometimes mused that it sounded like the Beatles song “I Am the Walrus”…goo goo g’joob, But it was way better known from the movie “The Graduate” and a song sung by Simon and Garfunkel’s, “Mrs. Robinson”.
Only here recently have I said that it sounds like the dove are saying coo coo ca choo. So yesterday when I was on my own back porch, a dove began to coo. Derek was with me and heard me say, “I love you, dovie.” (because they were making me feel close to Mother). And in a few minutes he said, “ I love you, too,” because to him, that is what he could hear them saying in return.
“Everything is all right. No worries.”
