Can you love the beach too much?

In my last post I talked about making space on the weekend for each other and for God. Now I love the beach but I hate 'nippers'. Nippers is a program for kids teaching them basic surf safety and engaging them in challenging activites. It sounds like a great program. The problem is that I meet parent after parent who would call themselves Chrsitians but have given up on regularly meeting in church and got their kids into nippers. That's what I hate.

I can understand the need to think about having church at another time in order to reach people who fill their Sunday mornings (the normal time slot for churches). But Christians parents? What's the story? Are they Christians? I love the beach but not that much.
