Earlier this year in July, it was a warm sunny day. I took this road trip to Spokane for a little while, then headed over to Bute Montana and then down to Pocatello, Idaho, over through Lava Hot Springs to Soda Springs, Idaho then back over though Oregon and up the to where I was living in Washington. A 10-day trip to see some friends and get the remainder of my stuff that I had left in storage over in Pocatello, Idaho. One big circle. This was a long road trip, over 2800 road trip with THE DUDE as my co-pilot. I had resigned myself to only listen to Christian Worship music the entire trip. I didn’t play any other type of music. It is good for my soul.

As I was driving though the area just before The Gorge Amphitheater, I was considering doing another website. I thought about the last one I did and all that it taught me and made for me in the world and made for the world and others. I was asking God, what can this become for You God? What can this become for others? What can this become for me and my children? I think that is a very important question you should ask prior to starting any Creative project. As I was approaching the exit for the Gorge Amphitheater, I thought I wonder if there is a concert and who would people be going to see tonight? I laughed and said Yo! God, maybe one day they will see me out there standing on the stage. Eh? I was just laughing and Joking with God. Like a Father and His Child laugh and joke. I said God wouldn’t that be something since the only music instrument I play is the radio. God and I had a good laugh about that. I stopped at the exit for the Gorge Amphitheater, pulled out my phone and said Well God if We do another creative project and it puts me on the stage? I’m showing up as I am. Dressed just like this. I took a picture and laughed again. I said You Father Meet people where they are at. So, I am not getting all fancy for everyone in a suit and tie; I’m coming as I am to be as real as it gets. This is the picture I took.

The very next day, I woke up at a friend’s house, did my prayer and meditation, had breakfast, stretched my body, got social media and a friend had tagged me on social media. I had no idea he and a bunch of friends were at the 3-day Water Shed Concert/ Festival at the Gorge Ampitheater the night before. I didn’t even know the Water Shed concert festival was even going on there that weekend. He had tagged me in a picture at the show on social media. He said everyone was tripping out. They Looked on the Big Screen TV at the concert and said Oh My God! That is Andy! Andy is on the stage! Wow! Andy is on Stage! He is always doing cool stuff. This dude walks out and is the announcer at the show to announce the next line up band to play and looks exactly like me, sounds like me and is wearing the same exact clothes I was wearing when I took the picture above earlier during the day at the exit to go to the Ampitheater. Now, my friend had no idea that I had drove through that area earlier that day and stopped at the exit for the Gorge Ampitheater, thinking about doing this website creation and joking with God about putting me on the stage and showing up not wearing a suit and tie, coming as I am, to be as real as it gets. Because that is how God Shows up in my life. God meets me in the place I am, working with me doing whatever I am doing. Together. My Good friend said everyone that knows me thought it was me on the stage at the show! It tripped us all out. This is the picture He took and tagged me in it on social media.

It looks exactly like the picture I took earlier that day in the same spot wearing the same exact clothes. Most of the time, I wear my ball cap on backwards. I laughed and said now that is something!

Even when you are laughing and joking with The Father of Creation, He says, come to me as you are, I am as real as it gets.
