For the past four years, I’ve been lulled into peaceful sleep with a soothing voice reading from the word of God. One night, I focused in on a list of names. I know, I’ know, there are a lot of names—genealogies and a record of those that were taken away by Babylon, and another for those who came back. Names of officials and warriors. There are lists of priests and people who tended the temple, musicians, even gatekeepers. So many roll calls but this one in 1 Chronicles 27  caught my attention . The list ran through names of people who were in charge of precious articles. Men who were in overseers of others who worked the fields and vineyards and who made the wine. Instrumental people who took care of the olive and fig trees. There were names of people who took care of cattle, camels, and donkeys. Last, but not least, Jaziz.
