For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. {Ephesians 2:8, 9} Moses was forty years old when he fled Egypt for fear of his life. Forty years later he came back to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. What had changed? He had made his great decision. He concluded that faith and truth in company with agony and hardship were better than wealth and fame and the absence of God’s love. Few men in history have been called upon to make a more difficult decision than his.

Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.

Brad Kimbrough, of Cisco, is finally hanging up his suit and tie and stepping away from his life’s work at Kimbrough Funeral Home; having retired on Friday, January 6th, 2023. After starting in the funeral industry at age 14 by digging graves in his hometown of Henrietta, TX, Brad worked through the business to learn all the ins and outs. At 17, he and his friend Doyle Davis, (who also grew up to work as a funeral director) drove the local ambulance for Hawkins Funeral Home, and did other jobs around the funeral home. During this time he met and married Sherry Nichols, and together they built their lives in service to others. During the Vietnam War Brad was drafted and stationed at Fort Benning, GA. Because of his many years of working in a funeral home in TX, he was given special permission to work off base for the Striffler- Hamby Funeral Home in Columbus, GA.
