Give Me A D – Give Me An E – Give Me An E – Give Me A P
What's that spell? Depends on who you ask. Perry Noble thinks it's about what you do and not what you know. Jeff Vanderstelt thinks that busyness doesn't prove depth. (HT: Jared) So which is it? Are you deep because you come and serve at church? Are you deep because you can recite the Heidelberg Confession? Can you do a lot of stuff and yet be shallow? Can you know a lot of stuff and still be shallow? Who's right? Is James right? Is it a false paradox? Do you really have to choose one or the other? Why can't you have both? Why are doers so resentful of thinkers? Why can't thinkers actually do something? Why can't doers actually think about something once in a while? I've got my theories. Is deep being able to be both or all? So many questions. So few answers. I'm finding I have fewer of them in life.
