At this time since 2015, my residence built in 1953 is in Panama City, Florida on a small peninsula in the salt water bay. Taking strolls on a white sandy beach and kayaking are my current outdoor activities, and there will be more to tell after living here a while. The "Under the Oaks" park is at the end of one of my normal treks, where the people are friendly and talkative on the published topics of my book "Revealing Bible Mysteries." I occasionally collect sea shells on the airbase beach and hand them out to tourists at Panama City Beach with my website "theorybin.com" written on the inside of the shell.

My former residence built in 1898 is in Kansas, in a small community of Independence. This is about 85 miles North of Tulsa, 130 miles South of Topeka, 120 miles East of Wichita, 80 miles West of Joplin by road, and mostly a two lane highway in any direction. This city is relatively excluded from modernization, but we have nice roads to ride bicycles, and kids can play in many of the streets. The negative to living there, is the intellectual seclusion from people that have a like interest in the things that my studies involve, and our taxes have recently gone to 9.3%, a higher COL than Miami Beach. There is at least 100 miles of travel, to speak with anyone on any topic of a serious matter, and that makes it difficult to get a peer perspective or a viewpoint from a friend.

There are more projects in my plate than can be finished, so there is a constant juggling of priorities. The two books written on Physics and Theology are of primary interest, and those seem to catch frequent updates when the topics are studied. The studies of religion and science do not have a conflict in my findings; they support and prove all my questions of life. My electronics profession and hobbies takes another portion of time and space, for a technician can never have too many spare parts and things that need tinkering. Mechanical designs of aircraft and cars and buildings and all manufactured items have always been fascinating, and this curiosity keeps me busy in study and concept re-designs. There is also routine maintenance and upkeep that is common to home and vehicle owners that never seem to get enough attention.

My latest book, "Revealing Bible Mysteries, Exploring the Bedrock of Religion" is a primary focus at this point. There was the daunting task of soliciting a publisher and probably an agent to get this into print and into the media awareness. The salesmanship is beyond my scope of skills, but this is a necessity to get the book into the hands of the readers. It seems just as complicated to speak with an agent as with a publisher, yet publishers rarely accept material without an agent, and the agents have not responded. So where do we go from here? This is the same problem that the Physics book went through, where it was essentially self publish through an agent that posted it on sales sites, and that did not get the scientific attention that it deserved. After searching and submitting many times, I finally found Tate Publishing that accepted my manuscript immediately. The earlier delays were probably a good thing, because in the year long search, my text got better development and greater impact to the readers. If you read it and have questions or comments, be specific on the page that you reference and your email is welcome. I request that you search at least one chapter beyond your question area, because the answer may be in further sections of the text. (08/15/17) scburen@gmail.com

It is true that there is very little reflection of the world in the location of Independence Kansas. Should this author expect to give a perspective that could lead the world into a better understanding of the Bible, without experiencing other cultures? It is doubtful that the views in this book could have originated from the teachings in this isolated area, but the primary understandings, experiences, and most of the research was imbedded before moving to this location. The isolated environment seems to have assisted in reducing distractions from the formation of a book of the experiences and studies. My first book was developed in many populated areas, and this author is primarily a scientific technician that had to learn some of the writer's skills to get the discoveries of science into the view of other scientists. Also through these decades of study, the Bible conflicted in some way with every visited establishment that professed its teachings. So the author was compelled in examining the sources, to write the book "Revealing Bible Mysteries."

Now we get a "brief" personal view of the territories and history of this author, for the first question that most people ask is, "Where are you from?". Aircraft industries have contract "field teams" that will move to a site and modify entire fleets with new electronic systems or major upgrades and repairs. Some airports were used as transition bases for working on groups of aircraft that fly-in for a scheduled modification and usually set up shop in a hangar and rotate the aircraft in for modifications. When the contracts are done, the entire crew moves onto another area. Nearly 20 years of Aircraft modifications, 5 years of construction, and 4 years of Military kept me moving often. The computer industry only moved me 3 times in 12 years.

When cities are cited in most chats with an acquaintance, my common response would be; "use to live there, or near there, or went through there many times." There are many stories to tell of each of these places and the associated journeys, but this is a brief introduction.

Born in St Louis Missouri about six decades back in the hospital that was just south (downstream) of the construction of the Jefferson Memorial, known as the St Louis Gateway Arch. The construction took several years due to union politics, which allowed me to see almost every piece of the Arch assembly on our weekend trips to Grandpa's farm near Hillsboro. So anyone can see where this author was born, by looking at a common photo of St Louis.

Each of these cities was my residence of at least a month. Working on aircraft, we sometime dropped into an airport to work on only one or a few planes, then off to the next site. The shorter visits are not counted, and sometimes it is hard to determine an address, for I often relocated several times around each city for a better or more convenient house or apartment. My eight year residence in Kansas 2007-2015 was my longest congruent period of living in one city and in one home.
