Hi,
I'm having difficulty getting the social widgets configured correctly. I put in a URL for an image, but it isn't showing up when I go to share.
For Google+, the image shows up, for Facebook, its just a bare link that does not look great. How do I fix this? -

I have checked your webpage and I can see what you're referring, I can also see that you have added the properly meta tags that send the info when sharing the link in social networks:
But you have missed the "og:image" property which specifies the image to be taken when the link is shared on Facebook, for example.
Please add the meta tag as follows:
<meta property="og:image" content="URL to your image" />
This way you will get the complete information from your link.
Once you do that, please go to the Facebook Debugger tool and click on the button "Scrape Again":

Here are also some links that will help you to properly set up your website to share on Facebook:

Hope this helps.
