My wife and I for several years, ok maybe a decade or more, have felt called to a plural marriage but the timing was always off, the reasons were wrong, we were following a wrong path or my job would have been affected. Since retiring, military so still pretty young, we have moved back home and started back to ranching (I am 5th generation) and now the calling is stronger than ever and we are in a better place spiritually, emotionally, financially and settled. We have tried many sites and different venues only to feel they were fake and a door to not so good things. Biblical Families was just recommended to us by another person who said she was associated many years ago and felt it would be the best avenue for us continue our walk. We have chosen to live rather remote, be as self sufficient as possible and embrace a more heritage lifestyle. We grow a garden, harvest our livestock, hunt, fish, and most our adult children and our grandchildren (their only toddlers and babies but we still feel too young for even that) live in their own homes but on the family property and work on the ranch. We hope someday to expand our family with another wife who can see the dream ahead and bring their experiences along the journey. So there is my long winded (my apologies) hello and I look forward to the journey.
 
Welcome to Biblical Families! You'll fit right in here. We are living off the grid and on a farm too, though we're in New Zealand.
I understand what you mean about other sites seeming fake. I am glad we found this site first, because the fullness and genuineness of it is so apparent, especially when you do search other sites.
 
Welcome A&J! It's great to have you here. I think you will find this to be a really good group of God-seeking folks.
 
Welcome aboard! :D Don't know if you're interested in retreats, but we have one coming up in October in Dallas, Texas. Come join us if you can!
 
Welcome!

Thank you all for the warm welcomes, it has been nice to read the discussions and learn new information as well as find a place to retreat to and ponder. The retreat in Dallas would be great to get too but the timing for us would be almost impossible. Our down time, for what ever that might actually mean, is from about mid November until late February to early March then by June 1 cattle are back on open range and stay out until late October when they move to private leases until brought home mid November to early December. It is not a glamorous life but is an honorable one rooted deep in tradition and heritage that I hope to one day pass not just to my children but my grand children and their children. Now off to find the post I said I would come back too and reply in more detail but can not remember which one it was....hahahaha

Thank you, that will make it much easier in the future. I knew it was in regards to economic survival and eventually found the thread and was able to post....just had to poke around for a bit.
