Joe Rutland has accepted a job to become the business editor of the Laredo Morning Times.

On his blog, Rutland writes, “There’s a lot of responsibility with this position. I know I can thrive and I’ll have a chance to meet a lot of wonderful businessmen and women in the Greater Laredo area. I look forward to embracing this challenge and staying focused, with intention, on my work. Also — it is my intention to have a social life. A REAL social life … not just saying it, but doing it.

“I feel peaceful, happy, grateful and blessed to have this job opportunity. I am filled with faith and trust and believe I will be taken care of every day.

“After all — it’s all grace.
