Home > Family > Ocean Depths - an autobiography by Gale D. Smith.

Ocean Depths was written to reveal, in a small way, God's unlimited and unmerited mercy and grace toward us, because of His work on the cross. The incidents recorded give only a glimpse of our lives as best we could research, remember, and express in words. We ask your understanding if we have presented this information in a way that you may find offensive. We are presenting it not to offend, but to inform; 1st for our family members, and 2nd for anyone open to these expressions of our faith in God and His ways with us.

One thing we have learned through our years as God's children, is that God is consistently and patiently showing us Himself and His ways 1st through His word the Bible and then in our experiences. We anticipate knowing God as He already knows us, as He shows us more and more of Himself throughout eternity. We believe God has enabled us to love Him because He first loved us by dying on the cross as full payment for our sins. Our response to Him is trust, thanksgiving, and praise.
