Yeah I think it's all principal really.  There's value in knowing how to
stencil before learning cursive, same goes for all of this.  I'm
grateful for what skills I have, but I'm really glad I can just press a
button and have a machine do it for me too. 
But I'm lazy.  There's a lot to be said for inherent laziness.

        are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future
and a 
        hope. 12In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13If you
look for
        me in earnest,
        you will find me when you seek me. 14I will be found by you,"
says
        the LORD...
