than 30 years and volunteered with numerous groups in the

The Servant the Slave and

Life flows out of our bellie, we

you ever had anything come

I am firm believer that when -
you soul search you position
yourself for greatness, When
you come to terms with
yourself you gain power. Time
has allowed us to adopt
behaviors and set in motion a
story that can be played out in
masquerade or in truth. Pain,
despair and division set us up
for personal wrecks if we don Tt
identify and face the things that
hold us hostage. The Lord has
come to give liberty to set the
captive free. He has given us
power that remains untapped
because of the issues of life that
speaks louder than the work of
God concerning our lives.
Man is a spirit who possesses:a-
soul and a body God made
mans spirit his Pnuma (Greek)
to be a King not a slave. God
made mans spirit to rule;
otherwise the soul and the body
will take over dominance.

Gaston Monk cont, from front part
oHey, Cherie, this-is Gaston
oHello Mr, Monk: How are
~ you? ?
oT'm doing fine. I need to
get an announcement in
about the mass meeting
Sunday night. ?
oOK, Mr. Monk .... ?
You might wonder how he
got away with doing that so
easily. I Tve been thinking
about that myself after .
learning about his death,
He didn Tt yell or fuss, wasn Tt
pushy about it. He just asked
in his humble, quiet way.
I don Tt quite understand it,
but Mr. Monk was not
someone you could tell
oNo, ? at least not easily,
That was true not only for
me, but for others, too,
including D.H. Conley, who
Was superintendent of Pitt
County Schools.
As the head teacher of the
black Warren Chapel
School, Mr. Monk asked
Conley for the new text
books the state had provided
for county students instead
of settling for the discarded
books from the white school.
In a 1999 interview with The
Daily Reflector, Monk
explained, oNobody ever
asked (the superintendent)
anything like that before,
everybody else been takin T
them, but I Tm new and all
and I don Tt know any
better. ?
Without notice, Mr. Monk Ts
new books were delivered
one day, piled up in the
schoolyard.
The books weren Tt the only
request Mr. Monk made of
the superintendent. When he
was principal of the black
Nichols School, the used
piano the PTA had raised T
money to purchase was
destroyed by mice while it
was stored over the summer.
oT told (the Superintendent)
my folk scratched, sold
tobacco, chipped in their
little money to buy that
piano, and I don Tt feel like
asking oem any more. We
need a piano. ?
The Nichols School got a
brand new piano.
Mr. Monk worked in the
public schools through the
difficult times of
segregation, then integration.
By the time he retired as
principal of Ayden Middle
School in 1989, blacks and
whites had settled into
learning together. They had a
great teacher. " oa
Cherie Speller is associate
editor for readership and
community news at The
Daily Reflector. Contact her
at 329-9512 or
cspeller@coxnc.com.
Comments:
Gaston Monk Ts list of
contributions is lengthy: time
spent on the Pitt County
Board of Social Services, a
member of the advisory
board for State Employees
Credit Union and the
secretary-treasurer for Bell
Arthur Water Corporation.
oHis greatest gift in life was
truly helping his brother, No
matter when, no matter
where any brother in need, ?
Mr. Burthey of Burthey
Funeral Service in Durham
NC said.
The Elizabeth City State
Teacher Ts College and N.C.
A&T State University
graduate also spent 14 years
as president of Pitt County Ts
National Association for the
Advancement of Colored
People.
oHe was a great leader to
serve under, ? said Calvin
Henderson, the current Pitt
County NAACP president
who served under Monk until
2003. oHe had a great
concern for equality and
Justice for all people. ?
Fortunately, he said Monk
never ceased stopping by the
county office to oshare,
encourage and advise ? to the
new leaders.
oIt Ts a great loss not only to
the NAACP but to the
community, county and
state, ? he said,

Sow A Seed
Failure to Yield
Joy R. Brown
Accidents?we Tve all had
one during some time in our
lives. Accidents?we Tve all
been the guilty party and the
innocent party in some of
the episodes. I remember
one accident that could have
been fatal, however, God _
allowed it to work
out in my favor. I
was On my Way to
work on Friday,
December 3, 2003.
At approximately
. 7:53am a black
truck pulled out in
~ my lane. The speed
limit was 55;
however you know
how we can do at
times. I was
driving
approximately 55-
60 miles per hour
and ran into the
truck. My car was totaled,
airbags came out, the
windshield shattered in a.
million pieces and the front of
my car was smashed. How |
escaped the car accident with "
minor injuries, only God can "
explain. I received a few
bruises, soreness and glass in
my left hand. When the police
arrived on the scene, the
seventy-year old gentleman
who had previously pulled
out in front of me explained
to the police officer that he
saw me coming but failed to
yield. Failure to yield in this
- particular incident could have
cost my life and the
gentleman Ts life as well. How
many times have we failed to
yield, slow down and take "
caution when warning signs
are ahead of us? We see
visible signs or hear a still
calm voice speaking but
ignore it. Just as the
gentleman in my accident was
probably thinking, I can make
it before that car gets too
close; we assume the same in
our lives. We sometimes
believe that we can perform
an impulsive act and pull out
before any danger occurs,
How many people with that
same concept are in the grave,
in the hospital, living with
HIV, AIDS, STDs, or
unwanted pregnancies? Many
times we believe that God is
trying to prevent us from
enjoying life but on the flip
side, He is preserving our
lives. God Ts plan and purpose
for us is to enjoy life to its
fullest. He wants us to live
life in the abundance, 3 John

above all that you mayest
prosper and be in health, even
as your soul prospers. ? God Ts
ultimate desire is for us to -
love Him intimately and
passionately. If you truly love
someone, you willnot
purposely hurt him or her.
God wants the same thing, He
wants us to love Him. When
you love, you can trust. When
you trust, you will listen. For
example, I know my mother
loves me. Because I know
that she loves me, my mother
would never do anything to
hurt me or place me in harm Ts
way. Because she loves me
and she would not hurt me, I
have security in knowing that
if she gives me advice, it Ts
because she Ts concerned
about me: Therefore,Ican
trust her because she is
looking out for my best
concept to God. When He -
speaks to.us?first of all, how
does He speaks to us? God
may speak to you through His
Word, through prayer (a time
of communicating with Him),
through another person or
through a song. Your spirit
must be opened to receive
from God in whatever way
He chooses to speak. When
He speaks, we must be so
secure in our relationship
with Him to know that if I
don Tt feel ogood ? about this
decision, this must be God Ts
way of warning us. Many
times, because we are human,
we ignore all the right sign

can give you the best advice,
Weigh the options. Check out
the pros and cons of your
decision. Ask God for ©
directions. If your decision is
going to pull you away from
God, the answer is no. If it is
going to push you closer to
God and assist in fulfilling
your purpose and destiny, the
answer is yes, Listen for the
