This is an inspirational story of a true local hero who has helped many young men in the Bluffton area who were in desperate need of a role model and a positive male figure in their life.I was a nine-year old fatherless boy when I first met Bob “Brother” Kitty. Brother Kitty owns Low Country Garage Doors and coaches the Bluffton Bulldog football team. I signed up for the football team when I was only nine years old. I didn’t have money for the equipment required to play and was going to have to quit before I even got started. Brother stepped in and out of his own pocket paid for everything I needed to play. I also couldn’t get a ride to the practices and games. Again, Brother stepped in and saved the day! He would work his day job and come straight from work and pick me up and then take me home after our practices and games. Brother did this for almost all of the young men on our team. And, he always made sure we kept up our grades and made sure we didn’t get into trouble at school or at home. Brother made sure we always had a few dollars in our pockets for lunch money or hot dogs and Gatorade

at our weekly games. I’ve always been able to turn to him in my time of need as a grown man. He has been an “angel on our shoulders” — guiding us young men and teaching us about love, faith, honor, respect and never giving up no matter what life throws at you. Brother Kitty has helped the “Bulldogs” grow up and become strong men and positive members in our society. As men, we carry on all that he has taught us in our daily lives. Brother will always be our Angel. He truly helped save many young men’s lives in our community and to this day he continues to do so. When I hear the word “hero,” Brother Kitty is who I instantly think of. We need more men like him in our world. He truly makes the world a better place! As Brother would say “Never Surrender!”Go Bulldogs!By Jeremy Wiggins

Challenging The Way We Think and Live in the Coming Week

Do you believe in miracles? Do you believe in the greatest miracle of all — the resurrection of Jesus Christ? In case you think you have to answer “yes” just because you happen to occassionally or regularly go to church, put your mind at ease. If you answer “No” or “I’m not sure,” you are in good company. There are lots of people that attend church who aren’t sure whether they believe it or not. And there were lots of people on the first Easter Sunday, 2000 years ago, who weren’t sure either. Folks like Peter, James, John, Matthew, Bartholomew, Simon the Zealot, and a man whose name has become synonymous with doubt — Thomas. Doubting Thomas.

Let me ask you today who do you think really expected a resurrection on that Sunday morning? Not the disciples. It was of course the Jewish leaders not the disciples who persuaded the Romans to seal Jesus’ tomb. It was of course the enemies of Jesus that feared something might happen. His friends weren’t expecting anything unusual to happen.

In fact, in Mark 16 the scripture confirms that the women who came to his tomb on Sunday morning came to anoint His body. That was part of the embalming process. In the confusion of trying to get His body in the tomb before sundown on Friday, spices had been placed on Jesus’ body, but not the ointment. The women came to finish embalming Jesus’ body.

What did they find when they got there? They found the stone rolled away and an empty tomb. All four gospels agree on this fact. The women did not have the slightest idea what had happened. You see while they loved Jesus they weren’t looking for a resurrection they were looking for a dead Christ.

Mark 16:8 says that even after the angel explained what had happened that they fled from the tomb trembling and afraid. John 20:2 the scripture affirms that even Mary thought someone had stolen the body. Luke 24:11 adds that when the women came and told the apostles what the angel had said, “They did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense.”

Of course those words sounded like nonsense. No one rises

from the dead. Not after three days. Not after being scourged. Not after hanging on a cross for six hours. Not after having a sword thrust in their side. Not after being covered with 100 pounds of spices and wrapped in a burial cloth. Not after being sealed in a tomb. No, the odds against it were…well impossible.

Mark 16:11 says, “When they heard Jesus was alive…they did not believe it.” Who could blame them? If you had been there, would you have believed it? With Jesus doubters are always welcome. All that God asks is that men be consistent with themselves. He asks that you give His story the same treatment you give to any other story. Sift the evidence, judge the record and come to a conclusion.

It’s all right to doubt, but don’t let your doubts keep you away from getting to know Him. Come to the empty tomb and see for yourself. When Thomas saw Jesus, he fell at his feet and exclaimed, “My Lord and my God.” That stands as the greatest testimony given by any of the apostles. It is the climax of John’s gospel. And it comes from the man who had the strongest doubts, Thomas.

It is a wonderful truth that the greatest doubters often become the strongest believers. And the honest doubts — once resolved — become the bedrock of an unshakeable faith. It has been said that no truth is so strongly believed as that which you once doubted. In the history of the Christian church, the greatest doubters have often become the strongest believers.

That’s why the story of Thomas is in the Bible — so that honest doubters might be encouraged to bring their honest doubts to the empty tomb. Thomas did, and his doubts were washed away by the person of Jesus Christ — alive from the dead.

Oh yeah one other thing, No one can remain neutral forever. You can bring your doubts to the empty tomb, but you have to make a choice! You cannot stay on the fence forever. Either you believe or you don’t.

Just maybe we should allow the real life example of Jesus to challenge the way we think and live in the coming weeks.
