The Diamondhead Annual Meeting was opened in prayer by resident / member Mike Fikes: “May
the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts be pleasing in your
sight, Oh Lord our God…” Psalm 19:14
Resident / Member Max English lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance. As we all placed our hands over our hearts
and began to recite, our collective voices became louder with each word. As we reached the words ‘one nation, under
God’, the intensity was strong and our boldness expressive. Thank you, Max.
