Consider a few points of reference:
The Bayly Brothers (Presbyterian pastors) link a piece showing what happens when the bulls decide to stand and fight the lions. They suggest that it has some implications for what happens when men decide to lead and serve as Christ did.
The HSLDA makes the comment from time to time that "homeschoolers don't make good middle management." In other words, those who take care of themselves aren't comfortable passing the buck for a living. If true, this says far more nice things about homeschooling than "merely" winning the Spelling and Geography Bees.
My church just selected new deacons, and I'm once again struck by the fact that God names character traits, not skills or innate intelligence. Not many middle managers on the deacon board, either.
Do not be conformed, but be transformed. Be a bull--and one who doesn't wait to confront the lions that would rip you and your family to shreds.
