Who Is your Christoper Marble?

I remember many, many years ago when I was a little boy in Catholic School.  A new kid came to the school names, Christopher Marble.  Now, mind you back then we competed for grades and when Chris came to the school I was already there for several years, now he comes and tries to upset my fruit basket with starting to compete for grades.  But for some reason, I started emulating him, down to almost writing like him.  I remember one day when we were fighting for a corner as crossing guards, he made me mad and his grandmother came along and said something to me.  Well, that didn't go well because I said something unkind to her.  Christopher was my "Thorn in my flesh." 

2 Corinthians 12: 7-9 To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.—NIV

Have you ever had a family member, coworker, or even a church member that was just always irritating you and you couldn't figure out why is this happening? Now mind you, that was years ago, and guess what, I went through the same thing just last year.  That thorn just seems not to want to leave me alone. Who or what was your thorn in the flesh.
