Katrina,
Well , DUH , We all know the answer to that last question.
It was not a rumor for me. Mike Castro Said to my face, "If I come back to the Bowen Ranch he would Kill me. " It was hard for me to accept at first.
Why did I not go to the police? (1) At first I thought he was not taking his medicene and was just in a bad mood. I had seen him threaten others. Az. Mike, Cody, Sweetpea, Bruce, Gary Roe, Eric Hindricks and even David Boyer. Then later he would have a pill change his mood and let them back in the group of buddies. (2) I Thought it was my christian duty to love my neighbor as my self. Castro was my neighbor. (3) I did not know the law that you Katrina helped me to understand. Thank you, again. xoxo (4) I guess, I am just too nice a guy. I am too nice for the common good. Now I realize it would have been in the publics best interest if I had gone to the police and let the justice system do it's job. My hind sight is 20/20 now. Can I say, "THANK YOU " again?
Which do you think put this crime animal over the edge. (1) my constantly trying to build somptin on the ranch. That fence out front, his RV project, the bulldozer out back. (2) My constantly wanting to buy his 1953 Ford truck. (3) My constantly camping with my children out there. (4) The time when I walked into the ranch house, unannounced. And saw him and his boy friend in bed together. ? (4) My steady reading the bible to give him guidance on important decisions he was making.
Or do you think he just needs lots of medicene. Love is a drug. Ya know ?
Mike did help me to understand what Christ meant when He said "You must be born from above." And again when He said " You will know them by their fruits." I do not see a need to list his fruits. You helped me to see them. Can I Thank you sommoa ?
