If you have a parking lot in need of wheel stops, you might be wondering which kind is right for you. There are options, and each deserves consideration. However, concrete wheel stops lead to longevity, price-point, and overall curb appeal. Here are some factors to ponder.
Rubber Wheel Stops
Rubber wheel stops are more expensive.
Rubber wheel stops are also more prone to weathering. This reduces their longevity. After 5 or 10 years, rubber stops tend to age, curl, and peel and start to take on a worn-out and unattractive look. That is the nature of rubber.
Rubber is a recyclable material. On a positive note, rubber wheel stops can be made from recycled tires and other materials, and in turn, when they need to be replaced, it is possible that rubber can be recycled again. However, rubber doesn’t last forever. Eventually, it will reach its lifespan and usable potential.
Concrete Wheel Stops
Concrete wheel stops are less expensive.
Concrete wheel stops resist weathering. Additives go into the concrete to prevent it from cracking or breaking when moisture is applied. One chemical keeps it from shrinking, which in turn can help it from eroding. Another chemical keeps air bubbles from forming; instead, it creates elongated ovals (non-circular shapes) which allow for space for moisture to go so it won’t expand and crack the concrete. There are also additives to reduce the water content, which makes the concrete stronger.
Concrete wheel stops are long-lasting. Concrete wheel stops have come a long way. New concrete stops won’t have you seeing exposed, rusty rebar and cracking. Due to advancements in technology, concrete wheel stops last longer and cost less than rubber stops.
All new concrete walls and bridges are using this technology, too. It is lasting a lot longer, and it still looks good 20 years later. New cement wheel stops can last 30 to 40 years, which is about three or four times longer than rubber wheel stops last.

I Am Not Woke I Am A Believer in Christ and What He Did On The Cross
Jesus cut all ethnic and social barriers and said, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations (ETHOS), baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,…” I believe the teaching of WOKE does not solve the separation man has from God but only the true teaching of the gospel . Moreover, I believe, any teaching seeking to divide God’s people is not from God but stems from the evil one.
WOKE does not solve the separation man has from God but only the true teaching of the gospel
Additionally, 1 Cor. 1:10 says, “I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment.”
Finally, I believe no weapon formed against me will prosper. I am not a WOKER getting worked up about injustices in the eyes of men. I am a Believer in spreading the gospel to everyone. I have chosen my cause that being the cause of the Gospel. Therefore, it is not my job to solve the injustices of the world but to serve God by spreading the good news of the gospel. Christ delivered all of us from bondage at the Cross.
Perfect Solution
Some may choose to hate me for my belief in the perfect solution and some may choose to love me. Regardless, I am ready for all criticism or outcomes my choice will cause as I am fully committed to what Christ did on the Cross.
Forgiveness is the answer to all injustices: Please read my article regarding forgiveness.
The Good News
Furthermore, I believe two hundred or two thousand years from now the only teaching that will last is the gospel. The Good News.
A Plan for Redemption
If you are like me and need to examine the relationships around you. Find if you too need to forgive someone. Then, say this simple prayer…..
Jesus,
I am a sinner. I’ve done a lot that is wrong or evil. I cannot do anything good in my own power. I need your love and forgiveness. Lord, I am sorry for all the sin that I have committed in my life, and that I know I will commit in the future. I want to live my life for You, doing what is right, and pleasing to You. I need a Savior, because I can never pay the debt that my sin has incurred. Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross, and shedding your blood to pay the price for my sin. I accept that You did this for me, and I ask that You extend Your eternal grace to me. Lord, please transform my heart and my life in Your image, write my name in the Lamb’s Book of Life, and fill me with the Holy Spirit. I praise You for Your love, Your righteousness, and Your infinite mercy. Thank you for saving my soul.
In the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior,
Amen.

Is your relationship with Jesus stuck on “Wash – Rinse – Repeat?” Perhaps it’s time to get off this merry-go-round Christian Religious non-sense and make Jesus Lord of your life. Let me explain.
Firstly, the Wash-Rinse-Repeat cycle is commonplace with today’s Christians. You begin with the sinner’s prayer;
Are you a miserable Christian? Maybe you know one. If so, read and pass this message on.
believe through grace you’re saved, then you go right back to your old lifestyle. Maybe not at first but eventually through digression the seed that was sewn in you failed to bear fruit. Possibly the devil now has convinced you to hate or even blame God for all your troubles.
Then, one day you cry out to Jesus He responds with grace once more and peace again is restored. Perhaps it stays a while this time but, through more temptation, the devil knows how to take you back. This time the devil is more cunning tempting you to go much further than before and now you find yourself addicted to drugs, alcohol, pornography, gambling or just getting more money. The hole in your heart swells.
Misery Loves Company
Now you have a giant black hole the size of our sun inside your heart that cannot be satisfied. You go to bed hungry and wake up empty. You haven’t smiled in months or maybe years. Then you decide to go to church crying out this time and or maybe just angry none of your friends have the answer. The Christians you know are just as hollow as you are and only pay lip service to your problems. Without understanding, they follow the same sports heroes or watch the same tv shows and movies as do the modern-day Philistines. They too are miserable. You may even wonder why they make the effort to come to church. The answer is, “misery loves company.”
It’s sad the Gospel of Jesus has been getting watered down to a life resembling this in many churches. Although, on the upside, it makes for a great place to share the real love of Jesus. When you read the bible, Jesus went the synagogues where He knew these kinds of people are found. An empty religion will do this to someone who is trying on their own to find what they believe exists yet are not finding. Are you one of these people?
Is what I know about Jesus causing me to share the gospel?
Then ask yourself, “is what I know about Jesus causing me to share the gospel? Am I irritating my neighbors to the point they to want Jesus? Are you doing greater things than Jesus did? Jesus said we would. James said faith without works is dead. Paul talks about a faith that is bold and Jesus said finding heaven is like the man who sells everything he owns to obtain it. Is this how you feel about the good news? If not, you may want to hop off the “wash – rinse – repeat” religion that is weighing you down and leaving you more hopeless and so wrapping you with additional chains.
“He or She is so heavenly minded they are no earthly good.”
To make church folk feel better or to ease their pain the church has adopted a saying, “He or She is so heavenly minded they are no earthly good.” This is a seed sewn by Satan to encourage workers to do his will. We must admit, it has worked very well.
“Fear of the Lord” – like a small Child not wanting to be separated from their parent(s), be afraid to leave His presence.
The bible, however, encourages us to pray without ceasing. How do we accomplish this? Make your life a conversation with Jesus. Ask Him everything. Believe He is with you everywhere you go. Fall in love with Jesus with a child-like faith. And like a small Child not wanting to be separated from their parent(s), be afraid to leave His presence. This is the truest form of “Fear of the Lord.
Jesus Came to Set the Captives Free!
Are you ready? Are you willing? If so, you can say this simple prayer and this time be genuine and know Jesus came to set the captives free.
A Plan for Redemption
If you are like me and need to examine the things you are allowing to take up your time and make an effort to ask God to show you what needs to be removed and what needs to be added. You can begin by saying this simple prayer…..
Jesus,
I am a sinner. I’ve done a lot that is wrong or evil. I cannot do anything good in my own power. I need your love and forgiveness. Lord, I am sorry for all the sin that I have committed in my life, and that I know I will commit in the future. I want to live my life for You, doing what is right, and pleasing to You. I need a Savior, because I can never pay the debt that my sin has incurred. Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross, and shedding your blood to pay the price for my sin. I accept that You did this for me, and I ask that You extend Your eternal grace to me. Lord, please transform my heart and my life in Your image, write my name in the Lamb’s Book of Life, and fill me with the Holy Spirit. I praise You for Your love, Your righteousness, and Your infinite mercy. Thank you for saving my soul.
Today, I desire to go all in with you, Jesus. I want that set-apart life that leads me to wholeness and real happiness. I desire peace beyond understanding as your word promises.
In the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior,
Amen.
