Thank you. It’s a delight to be here.

Chris:
Yeah, and it’s a kind of funny story aside, just our—you know, after all the trouble we had getting it going, we’re finally, we’re finally doing it, so.

Kathryn Danylko
But we learned a bit, right?

Chris:
Right.

Chris:
So, Kathryn, your book Whispers in the Windstone is a deeply personal account of your journey…

Chris:
Can you share what inspired you to turn your private journal entries into a published book and what you hope readers will take away from your story?

Kathryn Danylko:
Well, Chris, I never really wanted to turn my journal into a book, but the day that I was diagnosed with cancer, a friend of mine said to journal through my cancer. And I wasn’t even going to journal through the cancer. And a few days later, another friend said, you should journal through your cancer. It will help other people. So I recognized that it was God speaking through these people.

And then in the end, after a year of going through the cancer, the surgery, the chemo, and all the emotional ups and downs, I ran into a friend in the grocery store. And she said you should write a book about your experience. And I was like, Oh, Lord, really? Do I really have to do this? But all along the way, I just had signs that that was what I was supposed to do.

If I had a choice, I would have written about other topics, I think.

Chris:
Right, right. And, you know, that’s a curious quandary, too, because, you know, we think of, like, God things, and I think, like, our plans are not his plans and all that. And it’s like, we can get, we could probably get over-spiritual on it, or like… But it’s interesting because that’s how we hear God the most, right?
