Hello.
These links should be useful.  I had this problem a while back. It seems that Facebook chooses a random image from the page you're sharing to use as a thumbnail. (I had my SSL cert image as my thumbnail. Looked rubbish.)

The first one is FB official OpenGraph reference but you might find the second one more use.
