Formal institutions like church do not hold as much power as they did 10 years ago.   Even though some formal things are fun we just don't do them anymore.  I try to go to church as much as I can but there is some days that I just can't go.  The formal things in life used to be a higher priority but now the little things can come before them.  If I have football practice and church on the same nigh then most the time I got to practice.
