EU referendum: What will happen to Britain if there's Brexit? Here are four possible outcomes, MSN and the Washington Post
When Britons go to the polls on June 23, they will have the opportunity to jettison their country's membership in the European Union -- an outcome popularly known as Brexit.
But the ballot won't say anything about what should replace E.U. membership. That will be up to negotiators -- representing Britain on one side and the governments of the 27 other E.U. member nations on the other -- who will spend the next two years hammering out the terms of divorce if Britain votes to leave.
Pro-Brexit campaigners have said that Britain will continue to swap goods and services with E.U. nations; those imports and exports now make up about half the country's trade volume. Brexit advocates also say that Britain will be free from stultifying Brussels bureaucracy once it leaves the E.U.
But how will that actually work? And what are the chances that Britain's post-Brexit reality will match the rhetoric of those advocating for "out"? Those arguing for "in" say Brexit would be a leap in the dark, with leading economists warning of dire consequences.

Psalm 23 New International Version - UK (NIVUK) , Thought for Today
Psalm 23
A psalm of David.
1 The Lord
is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,[a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,

4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,[a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
for ever.
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
for ever.
Yours by His Grace for the sake of His Gospel, Church and Kingdom
