Camp is always so refreshing. God is always so good. #vscocam

Worship music bugs me. Sometimes it’s just too happy. Or too fake-happy, or something. I wish more faith-based bands wrote songs like the Psalms. Where sometimes David really does sing the praises of God, and really is genuinely happy. But other times his songs are filled with doubt and uncertainty and crying out for help. I understand singing worship songs in church, kind of as a pick-me-up, but listening to them at home feels so inauthentic sometimes, because sometimes I don’t feel the happiness or the belief that the songs sing. The song “Casimir Pulaski Day” by Sufjan Stevens is by no means a worship song, but in some ways I feel like it sounds more like a Psalm than anything worship artists are putting out. It ends with “He takes and He takes and He takes”. It’s important to know that other believers are feeling doubt and anger too. Because we all feel it, and denying that is lying to the entire Church. Anyways, that rant was probably way too long, but it’s something that’s been on my mind.

Watched “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” over the Atlantic Ocean, I cried.

I’m really tired, so here’s a photo of a goat taking a nap on his best friend’s butt. #justgoatythings

Do it for the vine?

Walked around inside of a glacier today with shorts and a t-shirt.

Stacks.

This is o-kay.

Walking around on top of a snowy mountain with no-show socks was probably a bad idea. But Gini the dog didn’t seem to mind.

Today was going to be a relaxing, “take it easy” kinda day, but then we ended up taking a bike ride over what felt like several Mt. Everests in a row and I got lost in the middle of the woods on what was definitely not a bike path for like an hour but I eventually sweated my way back to my parents and now my butt is super sore. Basically I’m not going to exercise for a month.

Whenever I ride a train, I think of that scene in Spirited Away where Chihiro is traveling on the spirit train with No-Face and the little hamster and bird. That’s probably my favorite scene in any movie ever.

Went up the Corvatsch tram this morning and it was absolutely gorgeous. Kept reminding me of the opening scene in “Charade”.

Rode a funicular up to a mountain side today. We ended up hiking all around the mountain until sunset. Beautiful, but a little chilly.

Hiked till my feet were sore, but we saw a waterfall and we’ve kinda been eating nothing but cheese and chocolate so it’s probably good.

Light through the stained glass window in the church at St. Gallen.

I think I found the only non-green field in all of Switzerland today.

Cow.

Stein am Rhein yesterday.

Yesterday this vintage Cadillac just showed up in front of our house so naturally I took creepy pictures through the windows. (Update from the real-world: we’re in NYC now, chowing down on some pizza, are about to leave for Zurich, and I’m having problems keeping my eyes open. That’s all.)

I’m going to Switzerland today. #🇨🇭

Sunrise w/ the best of friends.

TOO HOT.

Final finals finally. Also I hate warm weather. #vsco #vscocam

The smaller details can make or break anything.

More film. HEY YO you people who still shoot 35mm, how do you convert it to digital? What’s your workflow? Because right now what I’m doing works, but kinda saps the image of juicy color and makes the shadows look a little weird. Your input is appreciated.
