Turns out they’ve supercharged the recipe from when we were
kids; in addition to baking soda and vinegar, the instructions directed you to
brew those up with Alka-Seltzer, club soda, dish soap, food coloring, and I’m
not sure what all else. I think
the thing may make actual lava; I’m not sure.
Since our cupboards only contained the less-spectacular
ingredients – baking soda, vinegar, food coloring and dish soap – the
explosions were more like fizzles.
Just the way Mommy and Daddy like them. But as I said, it got me thinking…
Taking baking soda, this white powdery stuff, and mixing it
with vinegar, which basically looks like water, combines and changes them both
into something bubbly and runny.
They didn’t just mix together; they changed into something totally
different. (cue Thomas Dolby: Science! …ahem) You
could go looking for the baking powder in that new stuff, but you won’t find
it. Ditto for the vinegar.
When God saved me, He didn’t just wash me up and tell me to
try to do better in my life; He made something new. Satan may try to make me think that’s all that happened,
that I’m still the same bad person I was before, but that just isn’t so. Because of this new thing that I am, I
don’t have to listen to him anymore; I don’t have to buy his lies. I’m not that girl anymore.
