Eizabeth Guerra (Is Going To Destroy God and Take His Place)
Good morning and welcome to Eizabeth Guerra’s panadería.
Izzie cares about three things in life:
getting a nice rise on her pandesal,
line drives for triples down the first base foul line,
and casting down God from his so-called Heaven and taking her rightful
place on the throne he thought was His.
Some people ask, “Why?”
“What did God ever do to you?”
Well, God never did Izzie any favors, that’s for certain.
Quite the contrary.
Quite the contrary.
Now you may say that a bakery is a strange way to go about
this.
You may say that it’s quixotic. That it’s doomed to failure.
But I’ve seen God’s creation’s petty cruelties,
its shattering of dreams,
and its treatment of the virtuous;
and I’ve tasted Izzie’s hopia.
And I know whose side I’m on.
So if you’re wondering:
will Izzie be merciful?
Will she hold back her wrath from those who doubted her?
Consider the name of her bakery —
I Am Going To Destroy God And Take His Place —
and what that says about her willingness to forgive.
And don’t forget to tip.
