Yesterday in chapel, Pastor Jeff described the Mission\u2019s alcohol\/drug recovery program that men can choose to enroll in. The program is not AA-based and does not subscribe to the belief \u201conce an alcoholic, always an alcoholic.\u201d Rather, it focuses on building each man a spiritual toolkit so he can make better decisions in the future. Now that\u2019s a program I can respect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>211-186? The NBA All-Star Game is a joke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drake has <a href=\"https:\/\/dailymemphian.com\/section\/arts-culturemusic\/article\/41941\/drake-cancels-memphis-concert-again\">canceled <\/a> his already-rescheduled FedExForum concert date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.actionnews5.com\/2024\/02\/19\/martial-artists-gather-compete-memphis-open\/\">Martial artists will gather<\/a> in Memphis this weekend for the Memphis Open at the Renasant Convention Center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Grizzlies seek a <a href=\"https:\/\/choose901.com\/job\/memphis-grizzlies-memphis-tn-80-motion-graphics-designer\/\">motion graphics designer <\/a>and a <a href=\"https:\/\/choose901.com\/job\/memphis-grizzlies-memphis-tn-80-ticket-sales-representative\/\">ticket sales rep<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Church of the River seeks an <a href=\"https:\/\/choose901.com\/job\/first-unitarian-church-of-memphis-the-church-of-the-river-memphis-81-early-elementary-lead-teacher\/\">early elementary lead teacher <\/a>and a <a href=\"https:\/\/choose901.com\/job\/first-unitarian-church-of-memphis-the-church-of-the-river-memphis-81-youth-coordinator\/\">Youth coordinator<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s it for now.
