Thus begins one of the best spy episodes in the scriptures. It has all the intrigue, sex, and violence a writer needs to captivate his or her readership, including the red light (cord) district. I'll leave it to you to read the story. As for the spiritual sojourn, the implication presented here suggests that one seek a helper, a spiritual director, or a soul friend to help sort through the questions that inevitably arise upon the beginning of a vision quest. The value of such a person in one's life is to hear, and examine, one's own out-loud thoughts. Our various "Jerichos" would smother us with taunts of doubt, self-recrimination, or unworthiness. But the Holy Spirit hides us and protects us from personal annihilation just as Joshua spared Rahab, in return for her hospitality. Read the book! Shalom, Mother BE
