As tonight’s Commencement ceremony – and this academic year – comes to a close, we rejoice with the men and women of the Class of 2026 and send them out with confidence, trusting Christ to lead them.

The biggest selling 12" of all time.

OTD 1981: 45 years ago
New Order's debut single "Ceremony", with its iconic opening bassline, bridged the gap between Joy Division’s end & New Order’s start.
It reached No 34 in the UK charts

24 lessons from David Ogilvy:

1. Search all the parks in all your cities; you'll find no statues of committees.

2. The best ideas come as jokes. Make your thinking as funny as possible.

3. You are advertising to a moving parade, not a standing army.

4. Do not address your readers as though they were gathered together in a stadium. When people read your copy, they are alone.

5. Remember you are a human being writing to another human being. Neither of you is an institution

6. Tell your prospective client your weakness before they notice them. This will make you more credible when you boast about your strong points.

7. Avoiding excess in all things is a recipe for dullness and mediocrity.

8. A good advertisement is one which sells the product without drawing attention to itself.

9. There is no need for advertisements to look like advertisements. If you make them look like editorial pages, you will attract about 50% more readers

10. Big ideas come from the unconscious. This is true in art, in science, and in advertising. But your unconscious has to be well-informed, or your idea will be irrelevant

11. People who think well, write well

12. The most important word in the vocabulary of advertising is 'test'.

13. On average, five times as many people read the headline as read the body copy.

14. When you have written your headline, you have spent eighty cents out of your dollar.

15. Tell the truth, but make the truth fascinating

16. Advertising is only evil when it advertises evil things.

17. Advertising people who ignore research are as dangerous as generals who ignore decodes of enemy signals.

18. Raise your sights. Blaze new trails. Compete with the immortals.

19. I am a lousy copywriter, but I am a good editor. So I go to work editing my own draft.

20. If you're trying to persuade people to buy something, use the language in which they think.

21. Insist that due dates are kept even if it means working all night. Hard work never killed a man. People die of boredom

22. If you are lucky enough to write a good advertisement, repeat it until it stops selling.

23. At the start of your career in advertising, what you learn is more important than what you earn.

24. When Fortune published an article about me and titled it: 'Is David Ogilvy a Genius?', "I asked my lawyer to sue the editor for the question mark.”

@PastorBenMeyer Yep! 😂

@PastorBenMeyer Need to get together one of these days - glad to hear about Lucy and CUW. My daughter had a great experience. Ever bring back any Spotted Cow from your trips to see her?

[Ken Ohlemeyer Jr. @KAOjr]

@PastorBenMeyer Congratulations!

@AugieNash I pray the @Cardinals do something, but so far I’m not impressed. I’m afraid we’re in for another disappointment. And, let me be the first to say I’m wrong.

[Ken Ohlemeyer Jr. @KAOjr]

I was at the David Freese @Cardinals game #OTD in 2011. One of the greatest sports moments I’ve ever witnessed. However how has it been 14 years since the @Cardinals have been in #WorldSeries? What has happened to a once proud organization? #12in26

[Augie Nash @AugieNash]

#OTD 2011 - As we celebrate the Cardinals winning the World Series, let's not forget how HUGE Lance Berkman was in this game.

Berkman went 3 for 5 with a 2-run home run, but this single in the 10th inning with the team down to their final strike was MASSIVE!!!

“We will see you tomorrow night.”

14 years ago today, David Freese delivered one of the greatest moments in World Series history, a walk-off home run to force Game 7.
