Pulpit & Pew By Pastor CLIFF DRIEBERG Seventh-day Adventist Church Perhaps no story in all the world is more poignantly reminiscent of retur- ning home; than the age-old, beloved story of the prodigal son. No doubt we have wondered together, where it was that this boy made his first mistake! Was it because he seemed to want his share of life and to live it to the full? But is it not the Creator Himself, who places within our hearts a desire to achieve and to be dissatisfied with less than a fulllife? Was his mistake the sin of merely breaking a rule, by moving out against his father’s wish? Merely breaking a rule is hardly the sin involved. Sin cuts deeper than that, wouldn't you say? Or was his mistake the breaking of a relationship with his father, in moving out of the protection of his father’s love? Could it be that this is what the prodigal son did! It was more than just breaking a rule: he had severed his relationship with his father, and chosen instead to go his own wilful way! How often has each of us taken a similar trip, “into afar country,” and destroyed our connection with our Father in heaven, by moving out of the realm of His love, His protection, and our dependence upon Him? Often we desire our own way, regar dless of the consequences; and having our own way, contrary to God’s, is a collision of wills, the human and the Divine! We put our Will above His, and still pray:‘‘Thy-will be done!"’ Strange! But that is how we even: tually end up in a strange land, in ‘‘the far country!” The prodigal’s experience is the classic “‘riches to rags”’ story, ending in the hog-pen, destitute, hungry and far from home. But what makes it touchingly impressive is the fact that eventually he recognizes his mistake. The record says: ‘He came to him self,”’ or to his senses, and returned home. What a truly lovely ending! The healing of a broken relationship! Returning home! And the father waiting and watching in longing expec tancy! Through the prophet of old, the Divine call stills sounds: ‘Return SPRING CLEANING? in LAURA WILLIAMS B.Sc. Nutritionist Hairdesign, 1480 Col. Ave. . VIN 3V3 * 365-7616 again to me” (Jer: 3: 1), and later echoed: ‘*Come .... I will give you rest."’ (Mat. 11:28) Divine rest for our A loving, heavenly Father, waiting and watching for His prodigal sonsand watching-for-His-prodigal-sons-and daughters, to come to their senses, and return Home!

But Carl Lewis denies using performance-enhancing drugs, and says Johnson “probably would not have been on the Olympic team had he not taken steroids."” Dr. Jamie Astaphan, the physician alleged to have provided steroids for Johnson and other Canadian athletes, said the International Olympic Com: mittee should give up on its ban against the muscle-building drugs He said use of steroids was endemic at the 1988 Seoul Olympics — where Johnson's positive drug test resulted in his being stripped of the gold medal in the 100-metre sprint; the medal was awarded to his arch-rival Lewis, who ran second, “If there was any athlete not on them, they were probably from Sri Lanka or Timbuktu or some other God-forsaken place,"" Astaphan said by telephone from his home on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts “IOC KNOWS “The IOC knows how widespread steroids are in every sport — amateur or professional; they should not be banned," Astaphan said “There should be provisions placed on them to preY their abuse, then everyone can get back onan equal footing.”” specific Astaphan stopped short of admit ting he gave Johnson steroids. He said he will ‘spill every detail at the (Dubin) inquiry.”” Astaphan said he became involved with Charlie Francis — “‘the finest track coach on Earth”? — and with Johnson — “‘the greatest sprinter in history’” — and other athletes trained by Francis because he wanted Canada to excel in track and field “I fell in love with those kids," Astaphan said. ‘‘If | had all the money spent sending them to training camps and buying their meals, | could retire."* He added that steroids in regulated doses during training ‘‘are perfectly harmless.” GATE CRASHER One of more than 40 disabled skiers whips down Red Mountain in giant slalom competition this week.
