uk people

I've just seen some of the results from the EU Referendum and they are going against the prediction of an remain. There is no way of knowing what is going to happen but the GBP:USD has started to crash. I have a little spare cash so I've put some money into book cashe to ensure my costs at logos are stable over the next couple of months in my payment plans. I'm not saying do this or don't do this but I am saying it would be wise stewardship to watch this situation :-)

I should have done something similar while the Euro was strong...

Too late now the people of the UK have already decided & the effects are already being felt. Logos has just become a little more expensive.[:'(]

Yep, I think everything is 10-15% more expensive now than 6 hours ago :-(

Don't worry. I'm sure your bank will use the exchange rate at the point in time when they actually settle the payment - which would be around now for orders made 6 hours ago. [:S]

I managed to buy some credit when the exchange rate was 1:50 :-) The long term forecast is for things to stabilize out and return to normal. I hope it does for you guys as well.

I don't really care that Logos is a little more expensive for us Brits now.

But I do care about is my nation

The British people have spoken.

We need to pray for healing in our divided nation, after the very divisive debate.

We need to pray for good government , good leaders with great skill and vision who will care about all the people in our nation.

We need to pray for our friends in Europe, many of whom will be feeling betrayed or hurt by our decision.

We need to pray for the church that it will be united and be a source of healing for our nation. That Christ will be faithfully proclaimed and many come to faith.

In JESUS Name

Amen

I was sorry for our brothers and sisters in the uk. But we always need to pray for our leaders, in every country.

But at the same time we need to remember Romans 13:1 All leaders are appointed by God, I am American but I am also concerned for who our new leader will be both are not looking the best, for us it may be the less of the two evils.

Congratulations to you Brits who are disentangling your country from a situation which was becoming oppressive.

The big problem we have is that we don't know who our leaders are yet and different parts of the country have different leaders wanting to go their own way. The Scottish first minister wants to go for independence, our PM has resigned, there may be a general election, the current leader of the opposition is under political threat and our economy is crashing. God is in charge though so it will all work out in the way he wants.

It may be that the new government that imposes itself upon us becomes even more oppressive than the EU though

May I make a gentle reminder that the forums are not a place to discuss politics?

Good reminder.... it is enough to say and i do not think partisan to say prayers are needed in this time of change. There will be big changes over the next few years to be certain.

Hey, I believe prayer is in order; prayer for the UK, the EU, the US and just about everybody else.

Hi Dave,

When I saw your post I thought it was a good idea, but that I was too late to implement it. Immediately before the Referendum result, I could buy a dollar for 70p. Then it went up to 72p. On Saturday it was 73p. Today it is 76p.

Well played for thinking ahead!

Colin.

Thanks. Its a shame it happened like this. I don't think anyone was expecting it and I posted as soon as I saw the exchange rate plummet. It which was about 1:00AM on friday. Because of the lag in the exchange rates I still managed to get a relatively good deal but things are looking really bad now. I was looking last night and the exchange rate was at over 80p for a $. On Friday it was 66p a dollar. Everything at the moment is 20% more than it was Thursday - wow. lets hope it settles down because this is going to limit what brits will be able to buy at FL which will have a negative consequence on their top line :-(

It would be helpful if Logos could suspend all shipping to the UK (prepubs only) until after the situation has stabilized (I'm sure it will after everyone gets over the shock).

That is a nice thought George, and if it was clear that the pound would bounce much of the way back in a reasonable time it would be very helpful. Of course, those of our community in Canada have had similar problems over a longer time scale.

Hopefully the pound will bounce back but NO-ONE has any idea what will happen. We are treading new ground. Hopefully all of our political leaders will tread very carefully and avoid political statements that might cause more problems. It just illustrates how precarious we all are, financially, in this world of ours. Also, how beyond our imagination the world will be like when it is made anew.

Hopefully it will rise from 14 ozs to a full 16 ozs before too long. [;)] [:D]
