Practical. It seems like such a practical and real passage compared to some of the parts of the Bible about stories in far away lands or prophecies that make little sense.
Paul is boasting about how much he has suffered. You've been in prison once? Well he has been more. You've been spanked once? Well he has been flogged MANY TIMES.
"If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness."
I boast in my failures. Because in them, God's glory is shown. In them, it shows that God has kept me going, sane and alive. In them, I have grown closer and stronger in God. That is what I boast in.
