Thorn in my side

Some time in your life you might have used this statement.  This statement came to mind this week.  In Kenya we have thorn bushes. These bushes are all around.  They can seem to come out of no ware when you may be out for walk and they are very long thorns.  Well we used to have one in our back yard.  I was out burning garbage (yes that is how we get ride of it) I stepped on one of these thorns.  It went right through my shoe and into my foot.  I pulled it out right away.  It was sore for the rest of the day but then has been better.  This is a picture of the thorn so you can see how big it was.
