When you say "glory", what exactly do you mean?

This is a project that I hope will at least result in a dramatic reading to be performed within a worship service. The initial impulse came from a quiet dawning that the Scriptures are full of the word glory and we hear it several times each Sunday in worship. Yet most of us would be hard-pressed to come up with a definition for glory or account for the pervasive presence of this word.

The idea is that this reading will present and juxtapose in dramatic form, a wide range of uses of glory in Scripture. To the end that we would see the depth and breadth of this word/concept, that it would return to our vocabulary, that we would learn to recognize the glory of God around us.
