Only One Life - By Dale Gentry - His Story - His Journey

must sacrifice the present in order to secure our future.

Great words of wisdom!

1963:

I graduated from Elkins Institute of Radio and

Electronics in Dallas, Texas with a First-Class Radio

Engineering License. God’s plan for our lives was in

motion. I was hired at a radio station in Quanah, Texas.

I was instructed to give the call letters of the station,

followed by this quote, “ Quanah is a small town of five

thousand friendly folks, and a few old soreheads. ”

Terminated

Jean and I loved our small apartment, and it

seemed as if I was doing well at the station. That all came

to a sudden halt when the station owner informed me

that I was being terminated. My predecessor had

requested his old job back and his request had been

granted. I have discovered since that time, that there are

worse things than being fired. The process of

elimination in our lives was in motion, and this did not

take God by surprise.
