This is not what I wanted, but, apart from the close nature of the result, was very much what I expected. I think I'm still in shock a bit, though and the sight of the pound plummeting in value is a truly depressing one. It's going to be difficult for some time, I think and yes, there will probably be some unrest here in Scotland.

I voted against independence in 2014 because I believe in larger cooperative units, not smaller (although I also believe in maximum devolved power to the smallest regional units), but I'm fully expecting the Scottish independence movement to crank back into high gear. As for Northern Ireland, I do not think it unlikely that I'll see the nation I grew up in, where the rest of my family still live, fall back into violence if Scotland leaves.

The disintegration of the UK could be just a few years away, but perhaps in being overly pessimistic. It is likely, however, that this won't be the end of secessionist movements across Europe, with nations seeking independence from the EU and their larger parent nations. And we all know what a divided Europe is best at...

I believe in a God who is bigger and more powerful than any organisation, nation or treaty, however, and it's to Him that I'll be turning today - as I try to do everyday - to work out where to put my feet next.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
