Lurkers and Workers

Now that my current project was deemed a priority for the organization, I have gotten a ton of unsolicited help.  This would be fun if the help was really help.  I've been here before.  Several of my projects over the years have been very high visibility, and attract a lot of what I like to call "Lurkers, not Workers".  So many people want to be involved because it seems important.  I remember one project distinctly where 8 of us did 98% of the work.  Yet, over 100 people claimed it, got awards and recognition for it, and raises as a result of it. Many want to get in on a cart that's moving...few want to push to get it started.  I was listening again to a teaching on Nimrod.  I imagine he was a proud man.  I imagine he worked really hard at one point to establish his reputation, probably because he didn't have anything else.  He became known as a "mighty hunter" of men.  Instead of building his own city, he most likely took over an established little town, now known as Babel.  He wanted to be important.  Other people built his tower, thinking they too could be important like God.  Pride.  I am convinced it is at the root of EVERY sin.  The attraction can be obvious, but it can also be subtle. I face that temptation often.  But at the end of the day, I have to ask...does God want Lurkers, or Workers?
