Volume 7 of the Boom Town Reflections series, A Dark and Cold Place, delves into the Gregg family’s departure from Maryland following Josh’s adoption. Their journey leads them to a newly constructed power plant in Utah. Unlike their first experience in the state, this second move finds the family in a significantly improved position, benefiting from the passage of time and hard-earned experience.However, what begins as a promising chapter soon unravels. A corrupt and manipulative Plant Manager, coupled with Mark’s unchecked pride, sets off a chain of events that derails their dream of building a lifelong home. What should have been a season of stability and happiness becomes a painful period of turmoil, both for the Greggs and those around them.A Dark and Cold Place offers a candid and troubling account of the personal destruction caused by an inflated ego and its ripple effects on family and friends. This narrative powerfully illustrates the timeless truth of Proverbs 16:18: 'Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.'Marking the darkest interval in the fifty-year timeline of the Boom Town Reflections series, Volume 7 serves as a stark reminder of the cost of hubris. For the Gregg family, it is a time of painful reckoning and an arduous reset.
