Shape-shift? Maybe not, but then again... At church, there was short-Marine - he was really old, like 80-something. Anyway, he had a 50-something daughter,

who usually went to a different church.  Well, this particular sunday, she came with him.  This was about 5-ish years ago, and i was still rather new to Christian living.  Anyway, she said something to me about that Christians should be interested in the Bible.  i don't know, but there was something about her...for the first time in some years, i hoped i would see her from time to time, and that eventually we might become friends.  But she went to another church, had her life, and i have mine.  Oh well, onward and upward.

A year or so later, she again brought her short Marine daddy to church.  Yeah, the same person, though hard to believe.  She looked entirely different - and the way she jumped all over her daddy, over nothing really (okay, a tiny piece of cake, the old guy - with one foot on a banana peel to begin with, enjoying a two square-inch slice of cake).  Well, her words and actions were uglier than the deep scowl on her face.  We were all taken aback.

Found out not to much later that she was actively hostile to the things of the Lord.  Still, that turn of events was creepy - like a two-framed, before and after, shape-shift.
