Hi. I’m Karen S. Roberts, the editor of Daily-devotionals.com. I have written many of the articles on this website. I welcome potential guest bloggers to send me their articles at editor@daily-devotionals.com.
Who Am I?
I am a wife, mom, and grandma who loves Jesus. Learning from Him and sharing Him with others are priorities in my life.
I graduated from Houghton University with a degree in Bible and in sociology. With a lifelong interest in combining ministry with meeting the needs of people, many years of my career have been spent with people with socio-economic needs.
God blessed my by opening the door to many years in summer camp ministry. I have worked as Christian Education leader and teacher, in both paid and volunteer capacities. Also I worked for the Salvation Army for several years and later for a local agency that serves people with disabilities.
Now I am retired and would like to dedicate more time to this website. However I still assist homeschooling some of my grandkids, and I am caregiver to my husband who has dementia. I write and post as I am able. Please pray that I will write what and and when the Lord wants me to write.
I love to both write about and teach the Bible. Reading Christian books and studying the Bible are an important part of my life.
My Writing
I enjoy writing, and thank the Lord for the opportunities to inspire others through writing. I write books and articles, some of which are Christian-based and some which are in other genres. Having a wide range of interests and experiences, I love to learn and share new things. Some of my articles are published on Medium.com.
My first book, Bible Puzzlers, was a book of Bible puzzles for kids, published by Standard Publishing Co. It is no longer in print.
After spending many years in summer camp ministry, I put together a camp staff devotional book, based on 1 John, called John Comes To Camp.
Taking on occasional mystery shopping jobs developed my interest in showing others how to do it, and therefore How to Make Money as a Secret Shopper, Busting the Myths About Mystery Shopping evolved from a blog I was writing on the subject.
While aiming to always do quality work on the job, I learned some pointers which I shared in 47 Tips You Can Use to Get a Job Promotion. Later I added How to Finish Any Project and a printable planner, My Project Planner.
Since I enjoy helping people to walk out their Christian faith in practical every day circumstances, I started Daily-devotionals.com. However, I’ve never managed to get those devotions on the blog daily – far from it. But over time I’ve put a lot of devotions on this website. So if you want to reading material for your quiet time, you’ll enjoy clicking through our different categories to find the ones that appeal to you.
Knowing several people struggling with grief, as well as having an interest in how the prophet Jeremiah struggled with tough things in his life, inspired me to write Living Through Grief With Spirituality.
Homeschooling my kids and helping to homeschool my grandkids showed me the need for planners and assignment books, and therefore I produced the Simply Homeschool Planner and Simply Homeschool Assignments Notebook for Students, as well as a couple other assignment books.
And since I love children, I ventured into creating some entertainment for them: Silly Old Book of Dog Picture Riddles, Silly Old Book of Walrus Fun, and Animal Fun Activity Book.
For those who like to take notes on sermons and Bible teachings so that they can go back and review them later, I developed a notebook just for that purpose, My Sermon Notes.
