A recent visit to my doctor revealed that I am mostly healthy. I was not surprised by the findings; relieved that I didn’t have diabetes. I do need to take off a few pounds and lower my blood pressure and cholesterol.
My research revealed that cholesterol is affected by diet, exercise, and genetics. While I can do something about the first two, the latter is part of who I am thanks to being my parents’ kid.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the traits and characteristics that are inherited. What parts of me are thanks to my parents, grandparents, and other ancestors? What am I passing on to my children?
I wonder if being a child of the King causes some “genetic” traits to be revealed in me as well. Sure I have responsibilities in staying spiritually healthy. But are there parts of my being that are a direct result of being God’s kid?
I sure hope so!

Dave,
You are made in God's image. So to answer your question about if parts of you are here as a results of being God's kid?
We are all in that same boat. Noah's boat.
God started over, and He promised you and I that we should never have to worry again, as long as we confess that we are sons of Him.
It sounds like you have already done that.
You are here, owned, loved and cherished by God, and so, of course you here directly because of being God's kid.
Now.... What does that mean? Why did God want you to be here?
We are were given talents by God. If you read the parable and the talents, you saw that everyone were given talents, and the important thing is how we use them.
To cut to the chase... It looks like you are doing God's calling. You have a Christain music site. Your websites, are a connection of your Christian beliefs.
You have a good Christian outlook on life.
The fact that you are creating websites seen by billions of people is an real awakening. You can have a profound impact with your choices on anything to do with websites, and profound effect on others through your choices about them.
I look forward to working with you, and hope that we have a long productive realtionship together here on earth.
