If we cut off their tongues and forbid the Christians speech, they love with their hands, with their feet, and with their eyes, they love always and everywhere until their last respiration. Does anybody know how to take out the power of love from these stupid Christians?

Go back and read that quote again and let it sink in.
Every time I read this quote, it convicts the heck out of me. Do I have that kind of love? Would I be able to love people who were torturing me? If I could not speak of Christ, would my actions show his love?
Only by the grace of God.
My name is Rhonda. I am blessed to live in a beautiful place out in the country with my wonderful husband. In addition to our "real" jobs (I work at a garden center and he is a teacher), we have a small farm where we raise vegetables, eggs and chickens to sell at local Farmer's Markets. We are currently fixing up/remodeling a house into which we will soon be moving...hopefully. In my free time, (what is that?) I enjoy traveling, cooking, crafty projects, reading and watching the sun set on the hills.
Wow. And that is going in my journal.
That convicts me too.
Man.
Goodness gracious. Thank you for that.

is this quote based on some passage of scripture, or is it
simply the verse in a hallmarky-like song?
Yes, this line is based off the scripture John 13:34,35
