How many laws are there in the U.S. today? “Online sources say that no one knows. The Internal Revenue Code alone, first codified in 1874, contains more than 3.4 million words and, if printed 60 lines to the page, is more than 7,500 pages long. There are about 20,000 laws just governing the use and ownership of guns.

When federal laws were first codified in 1927, they fit into a single volume. By the 1980s, there were 50 volumes of more than 23,000 pages. From the start of 2000 through 2007, Congress had created at least 452 new crimes, so that at that time the total number of Federal crimes exceeded 4,450.”

PRAYER

Lord, help us to fix our eyes on You. There are so many distracting voices and events that clamor for our attention. Help us to shut those out to focus on Your voice. Help us to make time with You the top priority in our lives.

Considering all we are experiencing, lift us up with reminders of Your plans for us. We pray that we will be granted justice against our adversaries.

Let us always learn more of You and Your teachings, so that we may grow in grace and in knowledge of our Lord and Saviour. Help us always look up and remember that our hope is not in what’s around us, but our hope is in You.

In the mighty name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

Off topic from technology but seems like a big deal.

Yes, we’ve known this for a long time. But this is as mainstream as it gets for the medical industry. A journal of the American Heart Association.
