God's Strong Arm
God's strong armReaches in places unknown
In the depths of despair
When you lost and alone
He's always as close
As the mention of his name
Call and I'll be there
I've heard the Lord say
His mighty strong arm
With strength beyond compare
Reaches with softness
And gentleness so rare
Call on the Lord
He awaits your call
God's strong arm
The strongest of them all

Did you know that Baking Soda was imported from England? The United States started producing Baking Soda in 1839. Austin Church and John Dwight in 1846 provided a factory in New York, to start manufacturing Baking Soda. Dr. Austin Church's son, John Church owned a mill named the Vulcan Spice Mills. Vulcan, who is the Roman god of fire and forge, is often shown with a strong muscular arm and holding a hammer. John Church loved the representation for his new company and used it for his logo. Most of us, when we think of Baking Soda, the words Arm & Hammer come to mind.
Baking Soda is a white crystalline powder (NaHCO3) better known to chemists as sodium bicarbonate, bicarbonate of soda, sodium hydrogen carbonate or sodium acid carbonate. It is an acid salt formed by combining acid (carbonic) and a base (sodium hydroxide) and it reacts with other chemicals as a mild alkali. ~ quoted from eNotes
As you can see Baking soda has been around for a long time...here is a link for Arm & Hammer's Timeline. Take a look and see their milestones through the years. In the meantime, Beloved, let's talk about some of the great uses of Baking Soda as far as cleaning is concerned. I had a badly clogged shower sink that would not let water drain down and so I did some research and came across a terrific video on how to clear drains without using drain cleaners which are very toxic. Enjoy the video...
After trying this approach, not only did it immediately clear the clogged shower drain but it hasn't given me a problem since. I highly recommend this method....*note; please don't feel that you need to use boiling hot water to rinse away the Baking Soda and Vinegar, just very hot water will do just fine.
What Not To Do...thumbs down
