Simple Living?

Keeping pace with today's Americans (and other westernized nations) proves to be an exhausting endeavor. Americans are found rushing from one place to the next, doing activity after activity, having conversation after conversation, and overall spreading ones' self entirely too thin. Not to mention the idea of working to the bone to obtain some lofty goal of what it means to live well (whatever that means...)
I'm not so sure that I'm interested in that anymore. It's all just a pace of pretend perfection, and I can't surrender myself to the idea of it anymore.
But what does it mean to live well, live holy, live in a way that honors Christ? And how can one do that and do it within the confines of today's culture? Can we be that person in the montage of a movie, that when everything and everyone is rushing around and past, that one person is standing still? How do we learn to breathe and be still while still being productive members of God's Kingdom? How do we do life and spend our time in godly ways?
The rat race has killed me. I need Jesus, his sweet, slow timing and healing blood, to bring me back to life. And I have a feeling that it could look much different than what I am used to.

Psalm 37:7a "Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him." Hmm... :)
