Were you aware of the fact that God took pity on those of us with bad handwriting? Let me explain.
Some of us just never developed the fine motor skills as early as others. I still remember the years of jealousy in early elementary school for the Cheries and Jaynies and Lindas and Ronnies who always got their handwriting assignments put on the wall for display. My art and my penmanship never matched up to theirs no matter how hard I tried.
Did you know that God dealt very specifically with that? When He described the process of altar building in Exodus 21 He was very clear that He was not looking for artistically designed and impressively shaped altars (in fact, if anything they offended Him.)
God absolutely negated the possibility of anyone going, "Na na na na na, my altar's more impressive than yours is and God's gonna like me better..."
If you're artistically gifted this may offend you. I say, take it up with God because I'm grateful for it!
