I think Christians get side tracked trying to figure out what the thorn was instead of focusing on the main purpose of the Scripture- we need God. Our weaknesses are there to help us realize our need of God and that we can't do anything in our own strength.

I once leaned toward the physical ailment of bad eyes, but I have often wondered if it more a guilty conscience for the lives he took while "serving God." Good thought from you Glynn.
