This has been one long, cold winter for most of us, physically and perhaps spiritually as well. And yet, my friend Janet Spurr is always 
about the beach and joy.
When I met Spurr, she had just arrived in Maui after a 30 or so hour travel odyssey from her home in Massachusetts. Instead of complaining and whining, she was cracking jokes.
I learn from Spurr’s passion and her total presence in the moment, whether she’s promoting her book, Beach Chair Diaries; walking on the beach; working her day job; or sitting quietly and drinking in the Lord, as I once had the privilege of doing with her at St. John’s church across from the White House. Never mind the weather; any moment spent with Spurr brings peace and happiness.
Who reflects Christ to you?
My pastor gave me a book on contemplative prayer that I’m enjoying a lot. Focuses a lot less on me and a lot more on God and his concerns.
