#202: Facebook Bully Pulpit

It occurred to me about 5 or so this morning that the little blurbs people write in the Facebook Profiles every so often would be a great place to drop a word of encouragement to folks who need it; especially your Friends in light of all the Bible's commands to "encourage one another." You never know how you're going to affect somebody's day, so rather than whining or complaining about stuff, why not put a positive spin on the way life is treating you as you wait around to be collected by the Grim Reaper, who, by the way, has that interesting grin on his skeletal face whenever he's depicted in drawings.
I can't decide if that Death's Head Grin (perhaps a possible name for a really strong brew?) is due to the fact that he's supposed to be winning against the pagans or knows he's conducting Christians to a much better location. But regardless of the mythical character's thoughts, I'd be interested to see guys who talk about "getting ready for Sunday's sermons" or the like to actually put a one-line synopsis of the thing in their comment column. I figure, if they can't encapsulate it, they don't really know it, Eh?!
Got a good word or two?
