I saw a posting on facebook today that conveyed this thought, but had to correct the grammar. A few years a co-worker of mine at CVS told me he couldn't read cursive and I was amazed because he was a high school graduate. At that time, I learned that schools don't teach it anymore. I understand cost cutting, but to produce citizens that can not even write their own name seems utterly foolish to me. But, then again, so is producing a generation that is trained NOT to believe in God!!!
I am reminded of the patriarch Job, who suffered many things, but in the process learned valuable lessons about both himself and about God Almighty.
Job, Chapter 42 (WEB)
1 Then Job answered Yahweh,
and that no purpose of yours can be restrained.
therefore I have uttered that which I did not understand,
things too wonderful for me, which I didn’t know. (emp. added GDR)
I will question you, and you will answer me.’
but now my eye sees you.
and repent in dust and ashes.”
Being able to read and write English is part of the educational process and without being able to read and write in cursive causes a divide between the older and younger generations. This is foolishness, for America's founding fathers crafted our constitution and declaration of independence with great wisdom and penned it in the beauty of some of the most elegant script you will ever see. And as for the Bible- well, the prose and poetry of the King James Version of the Holy Scriptures is truly awesome; both are worthy of study and will enrich life greatly.
