I have been trying to "prayer journal" on this picture for a couple of days and I still don't get it. JZ or L.R.E. could you be so kind as to flesh it out.

If "brb" means "be right back" and "lol" means "laughing out loud", then I will say again, "WTW???"

It's the BRB that is funny. As in, "I'm just going to die and then rise from the dead." I don't know about the LOL. Is it a doubting "yeah right, nobody can come back to life after they've died" laugh, or is it an "Oh the foolishness of the Christian religion that Christians actually believe a man died and rose from again"? It would be more amusing to me if it just said "BRB", but I still thought it was a funny take on the cross, so I posted it.

That is really good…I like it! I wasn't sure what the BRB was, I thought he was burbing. Possibly gas from the Last supper.
With that in mind I think the LOL, is the LOL of doubt, like yeah right! Anyway great find.

P.S. I hope you all found my prayer journaling comment just as funny.

Jacob: we know you prayer journal everyday.
JAZ: That was exactly what I was thinking…"BRB" is a "comical" take on Jesus' proclamation about being raised from the dead. It's as if the "It is Finished" is being replaced by the "BRB". I'm still just laughing and laughing. Also…I think both understandings of "LOL" stand.
