Grant's Hearing Centers www.grantshearing.com Is God angry? I grew up in an angry, un- stable home. My father was very angry most of the time, and I didn’t always understand what he was angry about. When I accepted Christ as my Savior, I took this experience with my father into my relationship with God. I believed God loved me and forgave me of my sin, but I still had this vague feeling that He wasn’t pleased with me and He was just a little bit an- gry with me most of the time. I lived this way for years until I fi nally realized the truth: God is not mad at me! I believe many people feel like God is mad at them. One day I put a post on Facebook that said, “God is not mad at you.” Within a few hours, we literally had thousands of positive responses from people saying things like, “That is exactly what I needed to hear today.” Obviously, this is a message we need to hear. Getting to the root of the problem So where does this concept of God come from? Maybe it’s because of an angry parent who was diffi cult to please. Or maybe it’s due to the pain of re- jection from parents or friends who didn’t know how to give unconditional love. Or it could be the infl uence of church and being pressured to follow rules and regulations to make us ac- ceptable to God. We want to be good and please God, and we may be able to follow the rules for a while, but when we mess up, we feel guilty and condemned again. Because we can’t be good enough and do everything right in our own effort and strength. “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8 NKJV). Notice this says “while we were still sinners.” Galatians 3:10 (AMP) says, “All who depend on the Law [who are seeking to be justi- fi ed by obedience to the Law of rituals] are under a curse and doomed to disappointment.” What are you depending on to make you right with God? Are you depending on rules and reg- ulations that you follow or try to keep? Now I realize you can’t live a healthy, productive life with- out having some guidelines, but this scripture is saying that we will have serious problems if we think our worth and value as human beings are based on following rules and regulations. We are only made right with God through the blood of Jesus. And life is marvelous when you know the true character of God and who you are in Christ! That’s when you feel good about your- self deep down in your heart, not because you do everything right, but because you know you are special to God and He loves you—unconditionally, constantly, completely. It seems too good to be true, but it is true! I do want to be clear about Please see JOYCE, Page 5A STAN NEUFELD 1923-2014 Cottage Grove 1498 E. Main Street 541-942-8444 We Want Your News! g $ PUUBHF ( SPWF 4 FOUJOFM In person: 116 N. Sixth Street, Cottage Grove Email: cgnews@cgsentinel.com Office phone: 942-3325 Stan Neufeld who started in Hollywood in 1941 as an assistant director on Westerns produced by his father and who worked continuously in the business until he was 80 years old, except only for service in the Merchant Marine during World War II, passed away on December 26 in Eugene, Oregon at the age of 91. Stan was the son of Sigmund and Ruth Neufeld and was born in Hollywood in 1923. He was raised in Hollywood and spent every free moment on the sets of movies produced by his father in the 1930’s until he graduated from Fairfax High School in 1941. He immediately went to work on the production side as an assistant director. He also graduated from the Merchant Marine Academy and served for almost three years as an engineering offi cer on ammunition ships in the Pacifi c during World War II. In 1945 after his discharge, he worked on such Oscar winning movies as All the King’s Men and he worked with Orson Welles on Shanghai Lady. By 1950, he joined Gene Autry at Flying A Productions for 6 years where he worked on the many series produced there, including The Gene Autry Show and The Range Rider. He dreamed of becoming a production manager and was inspired by the legendary production manager, Bert Sternbach, and he took over from Bert on one of the earliest TV shows fi lmed in Canada in the mid 1950’s, The Last of the Mohicans. Following his return to Hollywood and more movies and series, he moved to New York in 1960 to head the production unit for the Emmy winning series, Naked City. Stan received his fi rst producing credit on Naked City and worked on dozens of movies and TV series for the next 40 years. He was known for his vast knowledge of how to make pictures and keep them under budget and on schedule. He was almost always the fi rst one on the set and the last to leave in his total of 60 years in the business. As the years passed, Stan also took two positions which took him away from the set, the fi rst at Orion Pictures where he supervised the production of its fi lms, including at least two Oscar Best Picture winners. For his last assignment, he joined a bonding company where he decided what fi lms to bond. Again, he was touched by Oscar when one of the fi lms he bonded, The English Patient, won the Oscar for best picture. He had to travel to North Africa during production and loved being on the set once again. His career ended only when the bonding company closed. His retirement from the business marked the end of 90 years in the business between his Dad who started in 1911 and Stan who followed him in 1941. Stan’s recollections of his incredible career can be seen on the Director’s Guild website, and he will be remembered by the many people in the business whose lives he touched. Stan also found time to run marathons and was a champion in his age group until just prior to his 80th birthday. Stan is survived by his wife, Lesley, his son, Tim, his daughter in law, Gabie, his brother Sig, whose Hollywood career was equally successful, Sig’s husband Patrick, his two granddaughters and their husbands, Pam and Dale, and Kathy and Dane, his great granddaughter, Maya, and his faithful dog, Rocky. He loved his family, his work and the picture business, and he will always be remembered not just for his hundreds of credits and marathon medals, but more importantly for the hundreds of people in the business for whom he was a mentor and an inspiration. Through many of them, he is still on the set every day.
