Hi! I'm Rascal, the fun-loving raccoon.

 

I don't remember a lot about my childhood or my parents, but I do remember living with my sister Raine in a tree. Raine did her best to take care of me, but it was hard. I had to hunt for my own food, and sometimes I was so hungry I even stole food from different places. I'm not very proud of that fact.

 

One day, I found a big dumpster in a beautiful forest. I was walking along the edge when I accidentally fell into the metal bin! All by myself on a rainy night, I shivered in the corner. Then the lid slowly opened, and I was afraid as the light from a flashlight peered inside. To my surprise, a log was put inside the prison-like box. Hesitantly, I climbed the makeshift ladder. Upon exiting the dumpster, I was greeted by a friendly moose, an overly excited squirrel, and a muscular eagle. They took me back to Harvey's house and nursed me back to health. They taught me the truth about Jesus and that He loved me even though I had done some bad things in my past.

 

I quickly became best friends with my new comrades! Now I enjoy meals in the Dining Hall, cleaning the grounds of Youth Haven, and most of all chapel time sharing the love of Christ! I want everyone to know no matter how messy your life has been, even if you feel like trash, all people are the treasure of God!
