2007 is starting off with a bang!
I have to admit, sometimes the daily tasks of life can seem overwhelming. Between working with people, getting things organized, creating new things and making sure to not get behind there is always something to do.
Here is just a short list of the things I am working on…
1. VIDEOS - a video of the Catholic Dance. it will happen. I have recruited my friend Rob from Spirit Juice Studios to help me with this project. Check his link on the left side. This will be one of the many videos that i will be making sure are a part of my site!
2. PROMOTION - I have a need to advertise who I am. I am new to the National scene but have been doing regional youth events for almost 10 years now (dang I am getting OLD!) So with my Las Vegas launch of the Catholic Dance I have the Diocese of Rochester in New York (thanks Sue!) set for April and a bunch of other dioceses looking into my show for their youth event in the fall and into 2008! Keep an eye open for something in the mail before February!!
3. SHOWS - among all of that stuff and balancing family responsibilities I am still keeping very busy with shows. I had a great time helping out with the St. Hubert’s lock in last Friday. The youth seemed to really get into the dance and they all enjoyed the Catholic Dance! I tell you…it is spreading! The goal is to be bigger than the macarena!
So…please keep checking back, bookmark my site, comment on my blog, sign up for my newsletter that will have its very first issue within the next 2 weeks! 2007 is indeed the year for the Catholic Dance to get moving through out the Nation!
Peace,
DJ Bill
Happy New Year from DJ Bill and the Catholic Dance!
Happy 2007 everyone! I pray that the Lord blesses you abundantly over the next 365 days. I have a feeling that 2007 is going to be an amazing year with a lot of Hope and Promise for a renewed fire! The Spirit will be moving in 2007!!
I am looking forward to seeing everyone and traveling all across the nation over the next year and continue to teach the Catholic Dance to the world.
Peace,
DJ Bill
Merry Christmas from DJ Bill!
Merry Christmas everyone. My son Austin is so excited that Christmas is almost here. He keeps opening a day on his Advent calendar and counting down. Since he is 5 years old he cannot wait until Christmas day. He even made me a present at school so I am very excited to see what the loosely wrapped in a brown paper bag with crayon and marker hearts on it contains. (it is truly the thought that counts!)
I am happy to be able to take the next few weeks to take some time off from entertaining, focus on my family and the miracle of Christmas once again. I pray that everyone has a blessed Christmas and that you all remember that Jesus is not only the reason for the Christmas season but the only reason for everything.
I pray for PEACE and a blessed 2007 for everyone and all of your families!

The Catholic Dance is spreading…
Yes it is true. The Catholic Dance is spreading. Since showing the world at the NCCYM conference in Las Vegas two short weeks ago. I have had a great response to my new website CatholicDance.com, I have added a ton of new friends to my MySpace page and it is not even 2007 yet!
Keep praying that the Lord will use me as He wills. My prayer for the rest of the year (and beyond) is “Here I am Lord, I have come to do Your Will!” This is a tough prayer but one I believe that I need to be doing and so far I am booking shows and will be spreading the DJ Bill Lage Fun Show accross the nation!
Peace,

MySpace, YourSpace, OurSpace, Cyberspace??
Yes it is true…DJ Bill is on MySpace! Feel free to check out my very plain and boring MySpace at http://www.myspace.com/djbillrocks.
Now, with that being said, I want to caution you before going there…
My first experience with MySpace was not a positive one. I was setting up my account, searching for people I knew and saw that there were a lot of things out there. My wife was upset that I was there and my account was closed. I found that it was not a positive place for me. I wanted to stay a strong man of God so I chose to close my account and move on.
For about a year I boycotted MySpace and just did not agree with what it stood for, what it was and how it could lead people into temptation. I also found that most of the advertisements for dating sites were quite PG-13 if not worse. A lot of my friends were on MySpace and some of my all time favorite artists were on there so I struggled not being a part of it.
So after a lot of prayer and a change of focus with things I am back. I believe MySpace is no different then the offline world we live in. Temptation everywhere. People of all different types and kinds trying to lure you away from your goals and what you believe. I have gone back on to MySpace with a new resolve to be a positive light to the people there. To be myself and show the world who DJ Bill Lage is and show Jesus through His example! Temptation will always be there if you are online or offline. The goal is to be who God has made you to be and simply keep Chasing Jesus!
Be safe and keep your eyes focused and you will be great. I will be praying for you!
Peace,
DJ Bill Lage
