Ronald Reagan is weeping.

 Technically, if we are supplying the weapons and underwriting the costs of war, add another country to the list that America is waging war on today:  Lebanon.  (Sorry, nobody believes America's role is as a diplomatic peacemaker anymore. We've got too much invested in profitting from the weaponry sold, to all sides, in these "games".  God help us all.  Pray for peace, people everywhere. Wiser minds will one day prevail. Choose Life.)

How many young men will be gone from the face of the Earth by the time the sun drops on them tonight, all to satisfy the war needs of the aged men who ought to know better but are ignoring the lessons of their lifetimes?  Justice, God. Our hearts cry out for Justice. 

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness
for they shall be filled” (Matthew 5:6)

(“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness” is then the pivotal beatitude. 
If disciples know their sin and weakness, 
they will also ask God to meet their need for righteousness.)
